Turn Everything to Love: Focusing on Christ as the Center
How can we practically apply Vincentian values into everyday life?
Here are a quick few points from “Turn Everything to Love, a rule of life for lay members of the Vincentian Family” by Fr. Bob Maloney, CM, which you can read on our website.
Christ as the Center: Christ is the absolute center of life for lay members of our Vincentian Family, and should be the guiding light in our actions and thoughts.
Daily Practices: Fr. Maloney’s suggestions include meditating on Christ’s words, focusing on His compassion, and repeating reflective phrases throughout the day.
Journey with Christ: We must be accompanying Christ on the journey of faith, looking to the future with confidence in the Lord.

“I have a confession. I write these reflections for myself to make sense of issues I wrestle with. It’s about making connections.”
Fr. Tom McKenna, CM
“The image which stays with me: a spark which continually ignites, not just us humans but all of creation.”
Fr. Pat Griffin, CM
“[Saint] Francis [de Sales] deals with many of the same themes in a more colorful and personal style. I marvel at the number of illustrations and examples that populate Francis’ lessons.”
