St. Vincent Ferrer: Angel of the Judgement

By Andrew Pradel

Commissioned by Our Lord Himself to preach His Gospel, St. Vincent began at age 50 an apostolate of preaching that would extend to France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and a few other countries as well. Travelling with him were as many as 10,000 people, including at least 50 priests. The throngs that gathered to hear him came from many miles around, such that he was forced to preach in the open--no church being large enough to hold all the people. Impr. 205 pgs, 12 Illus., PB

Customer Reviews

The greatest saint you never heard of.

I started reading this book after hearing about St Vincent Ferrer in another book (Trial, Tribulation, and Triumph) on apocalypticism. St Vincent Ferrer is perhaps the most amazing saint of all time, but for some reason we don't hear much about him anymore. He was well known for his preaching which attracted crowds so large (tens of thousands) that he often had to preach outdoors. He also performed so many miracles (often 10 or more per day) that the Vatican gave up trying to document them all when his cause for sainthood was under investigation. What's interesting is that St Vincent Ferrer travelled and preached during times much like our own, when people were turning away from God and the world was in danger of chastisement. St Vincent's passionate preaching converted many sinners and saved the world once before. Perhaps it is time today for us to start praying for this saint to intercede for us.

The Mircle Worker

When I first heard of St. Vincent Ferrer, most of the information was either boring to very little about this great Saint. After buying and reading this book, I learned many things about him from his sufferings to his triumps over Satan. One of the things that amazed me about this Saint was all the mircles that he preformed from the womb until his death. He even proved that he is the Angle of Judgement by bringing a woman back to life. He could touch the hardest of souls by his preaching and many followed this Saint. After reading this book, you may follow St. Vincent Ferrer, too? St. Vincent Ferrer, pray for us.
