Poverty. A word that can be seen in the dimmest streets of the city, blunt mountain tops, empty tenements, busiest districts and even in the eyes of the rich. People never realized that we are all living in poverty. We are filled with wants and demands but the truth is, it is never the measurement of how happy or wealthy one is. All these material things are only for satisfaction.

This is why everyone must meet Saint Vincent de Paul.

Saint Vincent de Paul is more than the perfect example of a wealthy man.Who else would want to serve the poor nowadays? Some will get disgusted while some prefer to ignore these unfortunate people but Saint Vincent de Paul will not.

Let us encourage each other to patronize Saint Vincent de Paul’s heart- warming values for us to be able to help not just the underprivileged but as well as ourselves. By doing this, we are teaching ourselves on how to be a moral person by learning through the experiences and lives of these people.
Saint Vincent de Paul devoted himself to God by serving the poor with love, respect, justice, hope and joy, and by working to shape a more just and compassionate society. As an individual, we must know that we have to help others so that we can share the same joy with everyone else.

Today, Adamson University in Manila is known for being the school for the poor because its patron Saint is Saint Vincent de Paul. The university contributes to different charities to share goods to the needy.
There is that distinct heart-warming feeling whenever we help someone and know that we may have changed his life in a little way. That compassion and charity is what makes a man rich
