John Rybolt, CM, matches passages from St. Vincent’s meditative writings with seasonal reflections and prayers. Through the Apostle of Charity’s words and thoughts, we are led to a greater love for all, especially the poor. Let St. Vincent’s wisdom inspire you to free yourself of the burdens and temptations of this world, so that you, too, may be ready to serve. Each entry includes a quote from St. Vincent, a scripture verse, a prayer, and a action all in keeping with the daily wisdom. John E. Rybolt, CM is a Vincentian priest teaching at De Paul University in Chicago.
