Saint Vincent Ferrer, born in Spain in 1350, entered, at the age of eighteen, in The Order of Preachers and gave lustre to The Church by his virtues and his Preaching (Collect).

He was called “The Angel of The Judgement” and he went over the whole of Europe, warning sinners “to be ready for The Son of Man, Who will come at an unexpected hour” (Gospel).

The words of the Prophet: “Arise, ye dead, and come to Judgement,”, which he constantly repeated, caused the many miraculous conversions of which his life is full (Epistle). He put forth the proposal to end The Western Schism by deposing The Three Popes, who all claimed The Papal Tiara, and declared himself in favour of Martin V.

He died at Vannes, Brittany, France, in 1419.

Let us deserve by Penance to escape being condemned by The God Who is to judge us.
