Vincent de Paul was not born holy but rather started as an average priest who transformed through a long process of spiritual struggles and works of charity. He had several religious experiences that shaped his vocation, including identifying with a tempted priest and taking on his spiritual suffering, which led Vincent to devote himself fully to acts of charity. Through serving the poor in hospitals, he discovered the power of charity to overcome doubt. He then founded organizations to address the physical and spiritual needs of the poor, combining preaching, charity work, and organizations like the Confraternities of Charity. These experiences defined Vincent's understanding of Christianity as remedying the poor's hunger for both food and the word of God.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
2. “God is not a God who is unconcerned with
the pain and suffering of humankind, but a
God who wanted to become fragile and
poor like us, and experience suffering in the
flesh, and from there, save us.
If you learn to discover the signs of life in the
midst of death… in the little things, in the
little gestures of love, in an outstretched
hand, in an ear attentive to needs… there
you will find the fingerprints of God.
Blessed Ana Maria Janer… fingerprints of a
life devoted to the service of God and of
others, fingerprints of a life given in love to
all without distinction, fingerprints of a God
who wanted to be close to us through a
woman who dared to live in fidelity to the
miracle of God's mercy in a wounded
world.”

de la Sagrada Familia de Urgell

affect humanity, but God continues to call
us to work for life in the midst of a culture
of death, living a charism whose center

Facebook/Hospital La Seu D' Urgell
4. The Seu d'Urgell is a town in Catalonia, in northeastern Spain.
Starting around the year 1850, the Board of the Seu d'Urgell Hospital wanted
to establish a community of Sisters of Charity, but various circumstances had
prevented a stable community from taking shape.
In 1853 Bishop José
Caixal took over the
diocese, and one of his
goals was to revitalize
the service that this
Hospital offered to the
sick and the poor.
The Hospital is part of a
set of buildings that
formed around the
ancient Cathedral. The
earliest reference to the
existence of a hospital
in La Seu d'Urgell
appeared in the year
1059. It still exists today.

Some History
5. For this purpose, in 1858 the
administrators of the Hospital
initiated contact with Sr. Ana
María Janer, to enlist her to
take charge of the
establishment as superior.
At the end of June 1859, after
obtaining the necessary
consents of hospital
administration and Church
authorities, Mother Janer
traveled to La Seu
accompanied by two
postulants, Concepción
Descárrega and Josefa Selva.
6. On July 1, as recorded in the
minutes of the La Seu Hospital,
Ana María Janer appeared before
the Board to accept the
assignment:
“That she has come here in order to
take charge of the internal
management of the establishment
out of a spirit of charity and not for
profit; content to remain here and
support the other sisters, healthy or
sick, with the respectability
appropriate to their station in life;
And each of the sisters is to be given
the amount of one hundred and sixty
reales annual income for their shoes
and dress; And at the time of death,
as determined by the Board, funerals
will be held for them, granting this
in exchange for whatever they will
earn through their work.”
7. Next came the presentation
and approval of the Rule of
their new institution, then
called "Sisters of Charity", now
known as the “Religious of the
Holy Family of Urgell”, under
the patronage of the
Immaculate Virgin, Saint
Vincent de Paul, and Saint
Louis Gonzaga.
Its two purposes were well
defined: assisting the poor
and sick, and education for
girls.
8. Needless to say, the institution
gained momentum during the
early years under the
leadership of Mother Janer
who, tirelessly, despite her age,
continued to found schools,
charities and hospitals in
Cervera, Tremp, Oliana, Bellver,
Sant Andreu, Organyà,
Castellciutat, Llívia, Les
Avellanes.
According to the oldest
chronicles of these foundations,
she personally went to
establish the communities
there.
9. Ana María Janer dedicated her
entire life to the service of the
marginalized people of her
time: the poor and incurably
sick, the plagued, orphaned
children, lonely elderly. Charity,
love of God and neighbor, is
what moved this woman to act,
to go out of herself to attend to
the concrete needs of the
other.
In each sick person, in each
child, in each community sister,
in each person in need, Jesus
Christ is loved, consoled and
caressed… this is the
overarching principle of her life
and the reason for her
unconditional dedication to
others.
10. Today they are a worldwide
family, “la familia janeriana
mundial”, consisting of the
Instituto Hermanas de la
Sagrada Familia de Urgell, the
Janerianos Latinoamérica, and
other groups based on charity,
joy, and a spirit of service.
They communicate via
Facebook, website, and
newsletter.
