We should keep our hearts open to the sufferings and wretchedness of other people, and pray continually that God may grant us that spirit of compassion which is truly the spirit of God.

Rose Hawthorne Lathrop (May 20th, 1851 - July 9th, 1926), the daughter of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The left picture is of her as a young lady, the right picture is the last picture of her ever taken.
Rose Hawthorne dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the cancer-ridden poor, after two experiences; the first was the loss of her friend Emma Lazarus (of "The New Colossus" fame) to cancer in 1887. The second was her discovery of the fact that New York City hospitals would not house cancer patients once their prognosis became terminal, leaving those without a means of housing themselves to die in obscurity.
As Mother Mary Alphonsa, Hawthorne worked to serve those who were dying of cancer in order to give them a sense of comfort and dignity in their final weeks and months. Taking Saint Vincent de Paul's maxim for the poor (the first of the quotes below) as a personal motto, she sought to further and further identify herself and her wards with the living Christ.
I am for God and the poor.
God and the poor await us side by side.

SAINT OF THE DAY (September 27)
On September 27, the Catholic Church remembers Saint Vincent de Paul, the 17th-century French priest known as the patron of Catholic charities for his apostolic work among the poor and marginalized.
During a September 2010 Angelus address, Pope Benedict XVI noted that St. Vincent “keenly perceived the strong contrast between the richest and the poorest of people, and was encouraged by the love of Christ to organize permanent forms of service to provide for those in need."
Vincent was born on 24 April 1581 in the village of Pouy, in the Province of Guyenne and Gascony, the Kingdom of France, to peasant farmers.
Born to a poor family in the southwest of France, he showed his intellectual gifts from a young age, studying theology from around age 15.
He received ordination as a priest in the year 1600 and worked as a tutor to students in Toulouse.
During a sea voyage in 1605, Vincent was seized by Turkish pirates and sold into slavery.
His ordeal of captivity lasted until 1607, during which time the priest converted his owner to the Christian faith and escaped with him from Tunisia.
Afterward, he spent time studying in Rome and, in a striking reversal of fortune, served as an educator and spiritual guide to members of an upper-class French family.
Although Vincent had initially begun his priesthood with the intention of securing a life of leisure for himself, he underwent a change of heart after hearing the confession of a dying peasant.
Moved with compassion for the poor, he began undertaking missions and founding institutions to help them both materially and spiritually.
The one-time slave also ministered to convicts forced to serve in squalid conditions as rowers aboard galley ships.
Vincent established the Congregation of Priests of the Mission in 1625, as part of an effort to evangelize rural populations and foster vocations to remedy a priest shortage.
Not long after this, he worked with the future Saint Louise de Marillac to organize the Daughters of Charity, the first congregation of women religious whose consecrated life involved an extensive apostolate among the poor, the sick, and prisoners.
Under Louise’s direction, the order collected donations, which Vincent distributed widely among the needy.
These contributions went toward homes for abandoned children, a hospice for the elderly, and an immense complex where 40,000 poor people were given lodging and work.
Vincent was involved in various ways with all of these works, as well as with efforts to help refugees and to free those sold into slavery in foreign lands.
Though admired for these accomplishments during his lifetime, the priest maintained great personal humility, using his reputation and connections to help the poor and strengthen the Church.
Doctrinally, Vincent was a strong opponent of Jansenism, a theological heresy that denied the universality of God’s love and discouraged reception of the Eucharist.
He was also involved in the reform of several religious orders within France.
Vincent de Paul died on 27 September 1660, only months after the death of St. Louise de Marillac in March of the same year.
He was beatified by Pope Benedict XIII on 13 August 1729. He was canonized by Pope Clement XII on 16 June 1737.
In 1835, the French scholar Blessed Frederic Ozanam took him as the inspiration and namesake for the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, a lay Catholic organization working for the relief of the poor.
Saint Vincent de Paul has become known as the “The Apostle of Charity” and “Father of the Poor.”
His contributions to the training of priests and organizing parish missions and other services for the poor shaped the Church's role in the modern world.
