- Father, “Mystic of Charity” is the title of your new book. Although you talk about St. Vincent de Paul in terms of the mysticism of charity, can you explain what the mysticism of St. Vincent de Paul consists of?
- Father, in the prologue you speak of the imagination or in any case of the possibilities that animated the life and work of St. Vincent. How important is the element of creativity in the actions of St. Vincent de Paul? If you can give some concrete examples?
- So, let’s give a good reason to read this book— both to those who already know St. Vincent but also to those who do not know the person of St. Vincent.
