Order needed in the service of charity


In view of the help brought to the poor people of Chatillon, Vincent said : “They’re practicing great charity, but it’s not well organized. Those poor sick people will be overwhelmed with so many provisions all at the same time, of which some will spoil and be lost, that they’ll be just as needy afterward as in the beginning.” (Abelly I, 72)
