Thus says the LORD of hosts:
    Lo, I will rescue my people from the land of the rising sun,
    and from the land of the setting sun.
I will bring them back to dwell within Jerusalem.
They shall be my people, and I will be their God,
    with faithfulness and justice. (Zec 8:1-8)

No one saint has inspired the church to work for justice like Saint Vincent de Paul. As the Scriptures remind us, working for justice is an essential part of faith because our God comes with faithfulness and justice. As Saint Vincent de Paul said, “There is no Charity without Justice.”
