In Lent and Easter Wisdom from St. Vincent de Paul, author John Rybolt matches passages from St. Vincent's writings with seasonal prayers and actions. St. Vincent de Paul, the Apostle of Charity, dedicated himself at a young age to the care of the poor and most abandoned. For St. Vincent, aiding these individuals was to meet the Incarnate Lord himself. He urged his followers to give their needs to God in fervent prayer and meditation and to let their actions be guided by extraordinary charity.
