LIFE OF St. Vincent de Paul

By REV. CHARLES MALOY.


Paper Edition $0.20 Cloth $0.35


In the opinion of the best critics this is the most popular, the most unctuous, and the most readable life of St. Vincent that has yet appeared. After years spent in the careful study of fourteen histories of St. Vincent, Father Maloy has become a fit instrument for placing before the public a much-needed and greatly appreciated work—namely, a concise and practical account of the life, labors, and virtues of the great apostle of charity.

A prominent member of the Conference of St. Vincent de Paul said: "This book is precisely what we want in order to make the works of the Conference better known and to create more interest in them."

"Just what we need to increase the number of vocations in our community.—Sisters of Providence.

Cardinal Vaughan highly praises the larger Life of St. Vincent, by Bishop Bougaud, from which much of the matter of this book has been taken.

The Cardinal says: "This Life of St. Vincent de Paul will be of value to bishops, superiors and ecclesiastical students, because it contains so much that directly concerns the training and mission of the priesthood. It will be of use also to the devout laity if it incite them also to address frequent and fervent prayer to God for the sanctification of the clergy. Sicut populus sic Sacerdos. If the fathers and mothers of families form a high ideal of the priesthood, if they inspire it into their children, if they foster it during the years of the education of their sons, they will render incalculable service to the Church. . . . Now, from no biography will they better learn what the priesthood ought to be than from the Life of St. Vincent de Paul."—Herbert Cardinal Vaughan.
