History
Very soon after Saint Landry
was made the bishop of Paris, he realized that there were many sick people in
the city, and nobody to care for him. He built the first major hospital in
Paris, dedicating it to Saint Christopher. Later on, during a famine, he was so
concerned about the poor, he sold his own furniture to help relieve their
suffering.
Activity:
Sometimes, it’s hard to remember that there are people who
don’t have enough clothes to wear or food to eat, or even a comfortable place
to sleep. Think about what you could give up to help somebody in need. Do you
have an extra jacket? A sleeping bag you never use? Maybe some stuffed animals
that could give many children comfort when they go to sleep at night? Today,
pack them up and take them to your local Saint Vincent de Paul Society or
another organization that helps needy families.
