What does a priest do at the United Nations? Fr. Ferdinand Labitag, CM, the Congregation of the Mission’s representative at the UN, explains why advocacy at the UN for social and environmental justice is also a mission. It is slow and often invisible work, but essential to changing the structures that create poverty and exclusion.

In the month of October, the Holy Rosary invites us to contemplate the mystery of Christ, led by the hand of Mary. In the charism of Saint Vincent de Paul, this prayer does not end with the last bead: it continues in service to the poor. A reflection in four movements on how the Rosary becomes charity.
Postulation, Saints and Blesseds, Vincentian Family, Vincentian Spirituality
For forty-six years, a nun cared for poor elderly people on the outskirts of Paris, looked after the chicken coop, and told no one that the most widely known medal in the Catholic world had come from what she had seen. Only in the final months of her life did she speak, and only because she was instructed to do so.
Congregation of the Mission, Vincentian Spirituality
On October 7, the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary and the beginning of the Month of the Rosary, the Vincentian Family reflects on this Marian devotion as a true “breviary of charity.” Far from being a mere devotional routine or an abstract exercise, the Rosary is revealed within the charism of Saint Vincent de Paul and Saint Louise de Marillac as a contemplative and active prayer. By meditating on the mysteries of Christ alongside Mary, followers of Saint Vincent renew their spiritual strength and transform prayer into concrete, humble, and compassionate service to those who are most in need.
