- They shall look on him whom they have thrust through (Zech. 12:10)
In a conference given to the Daughters of Charity in 1648, St. Vincent de Paul said that God fulfilled in the Brothers of the C.M. his promise to reveal himself to the little ones and the humble. The saint marveled at the finest lights and the greatest graces that God was spreading in the simple and unlearned hearts that looked for God in himself. The Founder was certain that these lights and graces turned up when Brothers made their repetition of prayer. Thus the great and incomprehensible goodness of God, according to St. Vincent, makes clear that “all learning in the world is simply ignorance besides what he reveals to those who set themselves to seek him by way of holy prayer.”
