Father Broom preaches on the great St. Vincent De Paul. Raised in poverty, he desired a brilliant career & worldly fame. God had other plans. He suffered greatly in young adulthood – He was kidnapped and enslaved by the Moslems for three years… After returning to France he was falsely accused of a major theft. After his exoneration he suffered a profound dark night of the soul. God was preparing him to suffer with the poorest of the poor.
His holiness was based on his deep friendship with Jesus Christ. He found Christ among the poor. He said “Love the poor and you will always love Jesus Christ for you will find him among the poor.”
Today he has achieved the ambitions of his youth… he had a brilliant career of helping the poor, founding two religious communities and his fame is known the world over and he is among the greatest in Heaven!
Father Ed Broom OMV is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary and is Associate Pastor at St. Peter Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens California.
