St. Vincent de Paul: The Holy, Angry Saint

I go to a church named after St. Vincent De Paul. I have been going there for years. I had no idea that he had anger issues. If there is one thing that I relish, when learning the biographies of the saints, is that it shows that to be holy, and regarded highly in the kingdom of God, you can still be riddled with human flaws. Thank you, Father Casey, for showing us the human side to St. Vincent De Paul.

[@reintaler6355]

''To be riddled with human flaws, you can still be holy and regarded highly in the Kingdom of God'' sounds better this way imo

To be honest, given his extreme empathy for the poor.. I would argue anger isn't necessarily a flaw. Even Jesus was often angry.

One doesn't need to be perfect, in order to be good. I really enjoyed this story

[@carolinanavarro9076]

Mother Angelica used to pray every morning 'come hell or high water I will not lose my temper today' and by 10am hell or high water would arrive!! This really comforts me as I suffer from menopause, and have completely lost control.

[@OliveMule]

You need to eat raw meat And you will be HEALED

[@grespinosa]

I've read a book about Mother Angelica, how I admire her level of courage! 😮 I also had to have surgery which put me in medical menopause, I couldn't control my emotions whatsoever. I was placed on hormone therapy and once they found the right balance for me it made a world of difference. I hope you can get some relief for your own symptoms too. 🙏

[@ronaldacon9232]

Please pray for my temper as well sis. I did 12.5 yrs in prison because of it and although I gave my life to Christ and have learned so much discipline coming back into Holy Mother Church I as well feel I have lost control of it 2 yrs out now dealing with so much stress, oppression and disrespect. I will be praying for you. 🙏🏽💯

[@thatcatholicgirl5675]

VINCENTIANS FOREVER!!! 🥰 Vincent literally only became a priest because when some priests in his area were getting ordained, he snuck into the line; he succeeded because the bishop was blind! He also suffered from depression; he often wrote how he didn’t feel he had done enough for the poor, and was often said to be very sad. I live in Perryville, Missouri, which was the first place the Vincentians settled after arriving in America!

[@chicanoinparadise]

As a man with a temper that leaves me guilt stricken every time, and is pursuing holiness as a life mission. You wouldn’t believe how motivational this video was. Thanks again.

[@dispatcher2243]

Another thing to note is that anger is given to you by God so that you may be upset at the unjust treatment of the innocent, encouraging you to do the right thing

[@blaisemacpherson7637]

I named my son Vincent for Vincent de Paul. I was part of a Vincent de Paul chapter in Moscow Idaho that was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. In our chapter we would go over the Mass readings every week in our m and discuss how they are related to our ministry. It was the perfect combination of prayer and action.

[@AshrafV22]

Your channel has helped me so much, I have always felt a connection to the Catholic faith but you have helped me connect enough to want to attend mass for the first time this Sunday and to sit down with a priest and beginning my journey into the faith, thank you so much father! ❤

[@paulrubio3918]

I'm really glad I found this insightful video on the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul. I didn't know much about his life's story with all its twists and turns. He had quite the variety of circumstances in life and gives us a picture of how, in spite of our struggles, to keep striving.

[@KrazyKryptonian]

Nice video. I’d also add that St. Vincent and the Congregation of the Mission were additionally concerned with the seminary training of priests. And of course, there is the Society of St. Vincent de Paul established many years later in honor of Vincent.

[@hervedavidh4117]

Don Bosco was a good and atypic saint too ! Happy feast of St Vincent de Paul ! Thanks for the vid Fr Casey !

As an Eastern Orthodox, it's comforting to see the Western Church really did have saints, and the Holy Spirit

[@cuppajavaplease]

This was a great video! Please keep giving us these stories about saints as real human beings. We are all called to be saints, and it helps hearing that we are not automatically disqualified by our sometimes less-than-perfect temperaments.

[@jaykebeckwith7573]

Youre on a hotstreak, Father. Keep up the good work. I'm feeling an urge to speak to my local Vinnies....

[@richardpetervonrahden6393]

Very interesting history. Vincent’s challenging personality was probably exactly what was needed to drive the foundation of these novel-for-the-time organizations. The Lord can use both our strengths and weaknesses to achieve his purposes! Please make more videos on lesser-known heroes and heroines of the faith!

[@Osteomorphis]

Props to you for creating this video on St. Vincent's death day. Shares the same day as my birthday, so I always felt a special connection to the Saint.

[@_eemjee_]

i do not understand why we, Catholic Christians, have saints. Until i watched videos here on YT on how they lived their lives, realized how amazing God's work through them. More of Saints please!

[@OliveMule]

Stop listening to protestants!

[@crossroadskeeper347]

This explains so much! I got help from Saint Vincent de Paul (the organization) years ago and they sent me to a store with a voucher. I tried to take only what I needed. When I got to the check out, the ladies had noticed that I had not used my whole voucher up. They got SO pissed. So I did hat anybody would do eing berrated by an older lady for not taking more than they need. I went back and got more. I look on that with a lot of fondness. I will never forget it.

[@thelordofgifts5343]

I am so filled with animosity and anger. Thank you

[@chrissobolewski5509]

We are all called to be saints by answering the call “Come, follow me”. Some are so sanctified in their journey with Christ that they are sanctified by the Church to the highest order and become an inspiration to many on their own journeys to Christ Jesus. As a Catholic, I am so grateful to welcoming the Word being revealed through ordinary men and women.

[@vincewarde]

As a retired pastor from a Wesleyan denomination, what strikes me is the many parallels between St. Vincent de Paul and John Wesley - as well as the parallels between the two movements. Wesley also was moved by the lack of ministry and theological education, he also employed laypeople (something that continues in many Wesleyan churches today) and saw to their practical needs as well.

[@sniperpronerfmods9811]

what is a wesleyan... never heard of it

[@arethmaran1279]

​@sniperpronerfmods9811 a subset of Methodism born from John and Charles Wesley in the 1700s

[@vincewarde]

@@sniperpronerfmods9811 Today, generally, the term applies to theologically conservative Protestant/Evangelical Churches in the Methodist tradition, to include organizations such as the Church of the Nazarene, the Free Methodist Church (in which I am ordained), the Wesleyan Church, the new Global Methodist Church and the Salvation Army. The above listed denominations often work closely together, especially on pastoral education. Clergy often move between these denominations. Theologically, our roots are in the Anglican Church. We are Armenian in our view of salvation, not Calvinist. We view Scripture as the final authority, but value reason and tradition. We also value practical ministries that meet real human needs - including ministry to the poor. We have a lot in common with St. Vincent de Paul and the Franciscans. Obviously, I can't list everything about us in this post.... but this should give you a general idea.

Respectfully (I am a cultural Catholic), my impression is that sainthood is reserved for those who do an extraordinary job of bringing Catholicism to various parts of the world and advancing the faith. I am related to someone who has been beatified and will likely be canonized. He was human like anyone else, although clearly a very good person

St. Vincent wasn't ordained as 24 years old, but 19 years (born 1581, ordained 1600) - bringing to the ordination the document confirming that he is 24 years old (the necessary age). Vincent also never wanted to create Daughters of Charity - He himself many times denied that the idea come from him or St. Louise. He also tried to follow the God's Will - rather to wait for the sign from God than to be too hasty in good deeds. About his bad temper I heard now for the first time. - He is know to become very humble and meek - capable to collaborate with everyone. I found this information only from one book - from many which were written on this topic. Little know is also his sense of humour which he sometimes used to show on "unspeakable" topic.

[@shuttershadestv]

[@oli9220]

I asked St. Vincent to speak to me as I go enroll again to a Vincention university/theology school, and then I watched this. I am short-tempered too and the surely way worse than him in sinfulness. I hope to be able to teach the poor in spirit, not just the financially poor by being an educator. Please pray for me, everyone. Thank you and God bless you all!

Once upon a time a certain King gave to His chosen servants the free gift of vast riches to each one. In the process of time men under the pretense of being the King's servants rose up and went to the descendants of the chosen servants saying If you desire to be heirs of the free gift of riches you must follow us to earn those riches and do your part. After following those deceivers, the descendants found they had no inheritance of vast riches and even lost everything they seemed to have. They inquired of the King for their riches. The King said Did not I say my riches were a free gift but you did not believe me neither would you accept it as a free gift instead you worked to earn them not reverencing My Words. Then the King cast the deceivers and descendants into prison for ever. Ephesians 2:8 KJV "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast."

While not a saint, there's a blessed I admire for standing up for his faith in Japan during the Sengoku period (or shortly after, not sure). Christians were not allowed to practice their faith, which was all he asked. He eventually took over a castle so that they could practice. When a counter siege began, he and his followers fasted so thoroughly that the leader of the siege began to suspect they were being supplied. But they were betrayed, and in exchange for his life the traitor let the besiegers know how unable they would be to put up any resistance if they were to be taken by storm. They were all martyred. If anyone can find the name of this blessed, I'd appreciate it. Then of course you have Joan of Arc, who famously wasn't exactly a nun either.
