St. Vincent De Paul, Pray for us.
I once made a delivery of some goods to a hospice, on the way their, a few blocks away, carrying boxes of charitable goods, I ran into a man asking directions. I told him.
He had a cane, gray beard and hair, was wearing a beret, dressed in black, he had an accent too. I gave him the directions and then, walking to the hospice about 2 blocks away, it dawned on me, that fellow sure looked like someone... I circled back but couldn’t find him. I’ll never know what happened that day. It did look like St V dP.
I hope that college in Illinois named for him, DePaul, can get their act together. I’ve bought a few religious items from them and it pains me when their is a story in the news about it, that shows them as being liberal or leaning that way.
What and encounter! Your story sounds so true and possible. God bless you.
