  • The Way of Vincent De Paul: Five Characteristic Virtues
    DePaul University Via Sapientiae Maloney, Robert Studies 1991 The way of Vincent de Paul: five characteristic virtues Follow this and additional works at: https://via.library.depaul.edu/maloney Recommended Citation The way of Vincent de Paul: five characteristic virtues. https://via.library.depaul.edu/maloney/9 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Studies at Via Sapientiae. It has been accepted for inclusion in Maloney, Robert by an authorized administrator of Via Sapientiae. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Chapter II FIVE CHARACTERISTIC VIRTUES: YESTERDAY AND TODAY ... we should look on them as the five smooth stones with which, even at the first assault, we will defeat the infernal Goliath in the name of the Lord ofArmies ... CR XII, 12 I write this chapter with some hesitation, knowing that the task I am undertaking is a difficult, even if very important, one. For Vincent de Paul, simplicity, humility, meekness, mortification, and zeal were the charac- teristic virtues of a missionary. He saw them as "the five smooth stones by which we might conquer the evil Goliath ." These virtues are so central to St. Vincent's thinking that in efforts at renewal all those who share in the Vincentian tradition must grapple with their meaning and the forms they might take in the modem world. This chapter is divided into three parts: 1) a study of the five characteristic virtues as St. Vincent himself understood them; 2) a brief description of horizon-shifts that have taken place in theology and spirituality between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries; 3) an attempt at retrieving the five virtues in contemporary forms.

"Am I scared? Yeah, I'm still scared," he said on his way from his home in Chicago to St. Louis to work as part of the broadcast crew for NBC Sports Network's televised National Hockey League game between the Blues and Detroit Red Wings Wednesday night. "I don't know what that scan is going to say, but all I can do is listen to my doctors and trust them that what they told me back in August is going to be the same thing they tell me in April," he added.
