God in His infinite mercy never fails to bless the people on the earth at appropriate times with saintly persons with unique charisma, so that they may help the people through their heroic examples to fight the evils that menace their Christian life. In the so called dark ages of Europe poverty, sickness, misery and destitution with all other evils that usually accompany them were rampant and were threatening to tear apart the fabric of Christian society. At that critical moment two heroic souls of undaunted apostolic zeal joined hands to bring solace to the masses through their unselfish service in love. They were St Vincent de Paul and St Louise de Marillac.
