The Way of Vincent De Paul: A Contemporary Spirituality in the Service of the Poor

By Robert P. Maloney

Whether you follow Vincent's way of charity already or if you are interested as to what it might be, "The Way of Vincent de Paul" will help you discover the heart of this vibrant and modern way of life.

What was the spiritual road that St. Vincent traveled? Why have hundreds of thousands of people been inspired by his example and even followed his way? Robert Maloney addresses these intriguing questions and outlines in helpful, practical terms how to follow Vincent's way in today's world. He confesses that "the Christ of St. Vincent has long fascinated me. 'He describes himself as the evangelizer of the poor, ' St. Vincent writes. It is this Christ who lies at the heart of St. Vincent's spirituality."

This book draws principally from Vincent's writings to present a schematic view of his spiritual way. The author looks at the ideals which Vincent presented, how these were modified in their original practice, and how this vision is interpreted in the twentieth century." (Spiritual Book News) "Father Robert Maloney offers The Way of Vincent de Paul to all who would like to become more acquainted with the spiritual vision of this man whose name immediately conjures up not only the poor but the challenge of serving them."( Richard McCullen, C.M., Former Superior General of the Congregation of the Mission and the Daughters of Charity)
