Summary "Life of St. Vincent de Paul" by F. A. Forbes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and contributions of St. Vincent de Paul, a renowned figure known for his charitable works and the founding of the Congregation of the Mission, which aimed to assist the poor and afflicted. The book highlights his early life as a peasant, his spiritual journey, and his unwavering commitment to the marginalized in society. The opening of the biography introduces Vincent as a young boy herding sheep in the barren Landes region of France. It outlines the circumstances of his upbringing, which prompted his father to send him to a Franciscans’ school, nurturing his potential for a life of service. As Vincent embarks on his educational journey and progresses toward the priesthood, his character is presented as grounded in humility and a genuine desire to serve the needy. This early segment of his life sets the tone for the rest of the book, indicating his transformation into a dedicated priest and philanthropist who would go on to have a profound impact on the lives of countless individuals in desperate need.
