March 26 Fifth Sunday of Lent
The Gospel today challenges us to see and believe the signs of grace in our lives: joy, peace, forgiveness, mercy and kindness. The home visit is at the center of Vincentian spirituality. Our founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, wished to answer critics who charged Roman Catholics with saying much but doing little. He responded to this challenge by joining a Daughter of Charity, Sister (now Blessed) Rosalie Rendu, in bringing aid and comfort to impoverished people living in the slums of Paris. Since then, Vincentians throughout the world have responded to calls for help by ringing the doorbells of our less fortunate neighbors, bringing them not only emergency relief but spiritual consolation as well. Now that California has officially declared an end to the COVID emergency, some of our conference members are returning to home visits in the spirit of mercy, kindness, and love. [March 27 is the feast day of Blessed Francis Faa di Bruno (1825 – 1888). Francis was born in Italy in 1825, the youngest of twelve children. In 1849, Francis matriculated at the Sorbonne in Paris, studying mathematics and astronomy. There he joined the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and became an active member. Upon graduation he returned to Italy to assume a professorship at the University of Turin. In Turin, Francis, a dedicated lay person, focused on charitable works, showing special concern for the well-being and safety of women and young girls, establishing schools, retirement homes, and other charitable institutions. Francis was ordained a priest in 1876. He died in Turin on March 27, 1888. Pope John Paul II beatified Francis in 1988, calling him “a prophet in the midst of the people of God” and “a giant of faith and charity.”]

26 de marzo: Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma El Evangelio de hoy, nos desafía a ver y creer los signos de gracia en nuestras vidas: alegría, paz, perdón, misericordia y bondad. La visita domiciliaria está en el centro de la espiritualidad vicenciana. Nuestro fundador, el Beato Federico Ozanam, quiso responder a los críticos que acusaron a los católicos romanos de decir mucho pero hacer poco. Respondió a este desafío uniéndose a una Hija de la Caridad, la Hermana (ahora Beata) Rosalie Rendu, para brindar ayuda y consuelo a las personas empobrecidas que viven en los barrios pobres de París. Desde entonces, los vicencianos de todo el mundo han respondido a las llamadas de ayuda tocando los timbres de nuestros vecinos menos afortunados, brindándoles no solo ayuda de emergencia sino también consuelo espiritual. Ahora que California ha declarado oficialmente el fin de la emergencia COVID, algunos de los miembros de nuestra conferencia están regresando a las visitas domiciliarias en un espíritu de misericordia, bondad y amor. [El 27 de marzo es la fiesta del Beato Francisco Faa di Bruno (1825-1888). Francisco nació en Italia en 1825, el menor de doce hijos. En 1849, Francsico se matriculó en la Sorbona de París, estudiando matemáticas y astronomía. Allí se unió a la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl y se convirtió en un miembro activo. Después de graduarse regresó a Italia para asumir una cátedra en la Universidad de Turín. En Turín, Francisco, un laico dedicado, se centró en obras de caridad, mostrando especial preocupación por el bienestar y la seguridad de las mujeres y las niñas, estableciendo escuelas, hogares de ancianos y otras instituciones caritativas. Francisco fue ordenado sacerdote en 1876. Murió en Turín el 27 de marzo de 1888. El Papa Juan Pablo II beatificó a Francisco en 1988, llamándolo "un profeta en medio del pueblo de Dios" y "un gigante de la fe y la caridad".
