SOCIETY of ST. VINCENT de PAUL Vincentian spirituality is defined under our Rule. The Rule of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is much like the Rule of any religious order. It guides the lives and the work of its members. The early part of our Rule describes the purpose and scope of our service: 1.2 The Vincentian Vocation The vocation of the Society’s members, who are called Vincentians, is to follow Christ through service to those in need and so bear witness to His compassionate and liberating love. Members show their commitment through person-to-person contact. Vincentians serve in hope. 1.3 Any form of personal help... No work of charity is foreign to the Society. It includes any form of help that alleviates suffering or deprivation and promotes human dignity and personal integrity in all their dimensions. 1.4 ... to anyone in need The Society serves those in need regardless of creed, ethnic or social background, health, gender, or political opinions. 1.5 To Seek Out the Poor Vincentians strive to seek out and find those in need and the forgotten, the victims of exclusion or adversity. 1.6 Adaptation to a Changing World Faithful to the spirit of its founders, the Society constantly strives for renewal, adapting to changing world conditions. It seeks to be ever aware of the changes that occur in human society and the new types of poverty that may be identified or anticipated. It gives priority to the poorest of the poor and to those who are most rejected by society. The Rule also offers instruction to guide our service and growth in holiness by defining our Essential Virtues: Vincentians seek to emulate St. Vincent in the five virtues essential for promoting love and respect for the poor: • Simplicity – frankness, integrity, genuineness. • Humility – accepting the truth about our frailties, gifts, talents and charism, yet knowing that all that God gives us is for others and that we can achieve nothing of eternal value without His grace. • Gentleness – friendly assurance and invincible goodwill, which mean kindness, sweetness and patience in our relationship with others. • Selflessness – dying to our ego with a life of self-sacrifice; members share their time, their possessions, their talents and themselves in a spirit of generosity. • Zeal – a passion for the full flourishing and eternal happiness of every person. Our Rule offers a way of life that pulls us closer to God, to our fellow members, and to our neighbors in need. Copies of the Rule will be available for you to see and review after each Mass this weekend. Talk to a Vincentian after Mass to learn more and get information on upcoming meetings. We hope you will join us. |
