Este artículo presenta extractos clave de las primeras biografías de San Vicente de Paúl, destacando su genio caritativo, su liderazgo eclesial y el reconocimiento gradual de su santidad por parte de la Iglesia. Basándose en fuentes de los siglos XVII y XVIII, relata la respuesta decisiva de Vicente a la miseria social, especialmente su organización de la atención a los niños abandonados, su papel en la fundación y consolidación de comunidades sacerdotales y su profunda humildad en el gobierno. La narración también traza el proceso eclesiástico formal que condujo a su beatificación en 1729 bajo el pontificado del papa Benedicto XIII, haciendo hincapié en los milagros verificados atribuidos a su intercesión y en la interpretación teológica de la Iglesia sobre su vida y sus virtudes. Vicente emerge como un incansable evangelizador de los pobres, un reformador del clero y una encarnación viva de la caridad apostólica y la humildad. El artículo sitúa a Vicente en el contexto más amplio de la renovación de la Iglesia tras la Reforma, presentándolo como una figura providencial cuyo carisma restauró la esperanza, la disciplina y el celo evangélico en una sociedad herida, y cuyo legado sigue inspirando la misión de la Iglesia en la actualidad.
