from The Catholic Men's Podcast · host Matthew Miller
Watch the video: https://youtu.be/xsRGWtuxUygSaint John Bosco wrote an incredible book on Saint Vincent de Paul and I would like to read a few quotes from it that challenge the worldly concept of success and failure. Never have so few pages taught me more about life and helped me understand some of the most confusing trials I've ever been through. Hopefully it will do the same for you and clarify my point on the Catholic notion of success. This chapter was a huge source of consolation from Divine Providence for me.The book is called: "Virtue and Christian Refinement, According to the Spirit of St. Vincent de Paul."Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast
