Frederic Ozanam --France –19th.century
We don’t give up going to the doctor because someone dies.We don’t stop eating because
someone gets ill.We don’t retire from football because a player makes a foul.Frederic
Ozanam did not opt out of God ,people and religion,when France was anti-God,Religion,and
Church,after The Revolution.He believed in God as The Compassionate Father,and saw
his life as caring for the poor and deprived.Although a young man,and an intellectual,he
founded the Vincent de Paul Society in 1833.It now has spread its caring branches world
wide.I recall some of his sayings’’Poverty is any kind of deprivation.Some people hope,some
doubt,some curse,others believe and wait.I am among those who believe and wait for God
and country’’.
