September 27: ST. VINCENT DE PAUL: A Confession That Changed Everything
from Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids
One dying peasant's confession redirected St. Vincent de Paul's entire priesthood toward France's forgotten rural poor. After hearing a dying man's confession reveal sins hidden for years with no priest nearby, Vincent de Paul founded a community of priests to reach forgotten villages. With his lifelong friend and partner Louise de Marillac, he also helped found the Daughters of Charity — sisters who served in the streets rather than behind convent walls. "Their convent was the sickroom, their chapel was the parish church, and their cloister was the streets of the city." Today's challenge is just the start.
