From the book jacket:

“Saint Vincent de Paul models the fullness of a Christian life that is prayerfully active and actively prayerful. He found and served God in theanawim-poor people, sick people, the abandoned outcasts in the countryside and in the cities. Vincent will be a good companion to anyone who seeks balance between action and contemplation, between organizing good works and relying on divine providence, between intelligent activity and trusting surrender.”
