There is a format for theological reflection which involves one person telling a personal story about an encounter with a person who is poor– and then reflecting on 3 questions: 1) Pick out a word or phrase of the story that moved or struck you. Describe why? 2) What is the heart of the matter? 3) What does the gospel and/or the writings of our Founders have to say to this story?

Now, go to this link http://vinformation.famvin.org/2009/08/its-the-poor-who-make-you-a-vincentian/ and share your thoughts on the above three questions.
