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.
Mass: Os justi.
Commemoration (in Lent): Of the Feria.
Last Gospel (in Lent): Of the Feria.
As Zephyrinus notes, S. Vincent Ferrer’s two most famous statements he thundered over and over: “I repeat the words of the Prophet: ‘Arise, ye dead, and come to Judgement.’ (1 Thess. 4:16)
ReplyDeleteAnd called by the Pope Benedict XIII “The Angel of the Apocalypse,” he famously often preached this sermon about the End:
“ In the same way, in the time of Antichrist, the Sun of Justice will be obscured by the interposition of temporal goods and the wealth which Antichrist will bestow on the world, inasmuch as the brightness of faith in Jesus Christ and the glow of good lives will no longer shine among Christians. For, lest they should lose their dominion, temporal rulers, kings and princes will range themselves on the side of Antichrist. In like manner, prelates for fear of losing their dignities, and religious and priests to gain honors and riches, will forsake the Faith of Christ and adhere to Antichrist. Now he [Antichrist] will be a veritable man, but so proud that, not only will he desire to have universal dominion of the whole world, but will even demand to be called a god, and will insist on receiving divine worship.” (From: “Angel of the Judgment: A Life of Vincent Ferrer,” by S.M.C., Ave Maria Press. Chapter XI, pp. 102-117. [This entire chapter consists of the third of the sermons given on the second Sunday in Advent; on the last judgment.])
Those who can hear, should hear. -Note by Dante Peregrinus
As Dante P has stated, quite presciently: “Those who can hear, should hear”.
