The kingdom of God is peace in the Holy Spirit; He will reign in you if your heart is at peace. So, be at peace, Mademoiselle, and you will honor in a sovereign way the God of peace and love.

Vincent de Paul

Vinzenz von Paul (1581–1660) war ein französischer katholischer Priester, der im 17. Jahrhundert das neuzeitliche Caritaswesen sowie Gemeinschaften wie die Lazaristen begründete. Er steht für die Verbindung von Frömmigkeit mit organisierter praktischer Hilfe für Arme, Kranke und gesellschaftlich Ausgestoßene. Bibellesern zeigt sein Lebenswerk, wie sich Glaube und biblische Nächstenliebe im konkreten Dienst an Notleidenden praktisch bewähren.
