In this second volume of Conferences to the Congregation of the
Mission, given by Saint Vincent de Paul during the last two years
of his life, he continues his instructions to his Priests and
Brothers. Conscious of his advancing age and the need to
consolidate his Little Company in its original spirit, he speaks
with great conviction, based on his own faith and experience, of
the virtues required and the vices to be avoided in order to
preserve for posterity the primary goal of the Congregation. This
he does especially in a series of talks on the explanation of the
Common Rules. The first of that series, "The Purpose of the
Congregation of the Mission," is considered by some to be his
"spiritual testament" to his confreres.
Although these conferences are couched in the language of the
day, Vincent's thinking is founded on the timeless teachings of the
Gospel. His words have a prophetic message today for every
apostolic Community striving to bring the "Good News" to the
poor.
