The second phrase is to minister to the

Poor “Spiritually and Corporally.” St.

Vincent used this phrase in speaking

to all the groups he founded: from the

Confraternities to the Daughters to the

Priests. Besides caring for the Poor

spiritually. Vincentians should care for

the sick. and for the most abandoned.

The third phrase is to proclaim the Good News "By Word and Work," St. Vincent saw in the Poor the image of the Suffering Christ. Consequently, he strove to serve the Poor's overall well-being. Today, the Church emphasizes this unity between evangelization and human promotion that St. Vincent preached centuries ago.
