Saint Vincent de Paul, pray for us all

Wouldn't you love to see this in the middle of Manhattan.

 Guess what- you can- it is there. On 23rd street, at the church of Saint Vincent de Paul. But hurry because someone doesn't want a congregation chock full of vibrant Francophones from the "outre mer" and Africa french speakers singing their hearts out in the middle of Manhattan praising God in song and spirit. The photos are, from the top, Saint Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower flanked by French and American flags, a stained glass image of Christ over the Bishops, a statue of Christ by the clock, and the stained glass image of Saint Vincent de Paul rescuing abandoned babies in the woods outside Paris. At this time, because there was no social 'safety net' if you were too poor to have children because you lived hand to mouth on the streets of Paris you abandoned your baby in the woods to die. And this, Saint Vincent de Paul found intolerable and insufferable, so started rescuing them and giving them to families who would take them in- in spite of the high society high brow crowd who thought these too low life bastard children not worth saving-they were sort of 'intouchables' to the higher regal courtier classes that financed him.  He is the greatest "Pro Life" saint I know.
