April 5 St. Vincent Ferrer, O.P., Priest St. Vincent Ferrer was born on January 23, 1350, in Valencia, Spain. His parents were William Ferrer, an Englishman, and Constana Miguel, a Spaniard, both of noble families. He entered the Dominican Order at the age of seventeen and was sent to Barcelona where he studied philosophy and theology. He advanced quickly and at the age of twentyRone was sent to Lerida where he served briefly as a philosophy instructor (1371R1373). St. Vincent Ferrer was ordained to the priesthood in 1374 by Cardinal Pedro de Luna. He then moved to Barcelona where he connued his teaching, to Toledo for advanced theological studies, and back to Valencia in 1379 to serve as the prior of the Dominican friary. In the same year he also took a position on the staff of Cardinal de Luna, and they enjoyed a warm friendship. Cardinal de Luna was a papal elector and voted St. Vincent Ferrer for Pope Urban VI who assumed the papacy in 1378, but Urban proved to be by Giovanni Bellini (circa 1465) terribly unstable, the French cardinals and Cardinal de Luna contested the validity of his election, and later in 1378 elected Robert of Geneva as antipope, Pope Clement VII, thus beginning the Great Western Schism (1378R1417). In 1394 Cardinal de Luna succeeded Clement VII and took the name Benedict XIII. St. Vincent upheld the legitimacy of the antipopes in Avignon and gave them his ardent support. Meanwhile, St. Vincent taught at the cathedral in Valencia from 1385R1390, and then served as the confessor of Queen Yolanda of Aragon. When Cardinal de Luna was elected anpope in 1394, St. Vincent was given a posion on his staff, became the pope’s confessor, and was named the Master of the Sacred Palace, the pope’s personal theological consultant. Benedict XIII offered to promote him as a cardinal, but he refused. In 1398 he suffered a serious illness, and while recovering, had a vision of Jesus accompanied by saints Francis and Dominic, and received a call to go forth and preach penance. Benedict released St. Vincent from his posions so he could go forth as a missionary preacher. St. Vincent traveled widely throughout Western Europe, from Spain to Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and France, and back to Spain. He spent long hours in prayer before a crucifix in preparaon. He challenged people to turn away from sin and do penance to be ready for the Last Judgment. His oratory was so vehement that he became known as the Angel of Judgment. He drew enormous crowds, so large that he o en preached outdoors. His zealous ministry met with considerable WEEKLY READINGS success making numerous converts, most notably Bernadine of Siena and Margaret of Savoy, as well as thousands of Jews and Moors. Sunday: Is 43:16R21/Ps 126:1R2, 2R3, 4R5, 6 [3]/ Phil 3:8R14/Jn 8:1R11 St. Vincent eventually came to see Pope Benedict’s papacy as a Monday: Dn 13:1R9, 15R17, 19R30, 33R62 or 13:41cR62/ barrier to Church unity, approached his longme friend, and pleaded Ps 23:1R3a, 3bR4, 5, 6 [4ab]/Jn 8:12R20 R R R R with him to resign, but he refused. St. Vincent then approached King Tuesday: Nm 21:4 9/Ps 102:2 3, 16 18, 19 21 [2]/ R Ferdinand to withdraw his support of Avignon and Benedict, which Jn 8:21 30 Wednesday:Dn 3:14R20, 91R92, 95/Dn 3:52, 53, 54, 55, he did in 1416, and Benedict’s papacy collapsed. The Council of 56 [52b]/Jn 8:31R42 Constance convened in 1417, Marn V became pope on November Thursday: Gn 17:3R9/Ps 105:4R5, 6R7, 8R9 [8a]/ 21, 1417, and the Western Schism came to an end. Jn 8:51R59 Friday: Jer 20:10R13/Ps 18:2R3a, 3bcR4, 5R6, 7 St. Vincent was exhausted from a lifeme of travel and diplomacy, [cf. 7]/Jn 10:31R42 moved to France, and spent his final three years in Normandy, and Saturday: Ez 37:21R28/Jer 31:10, 11R12abcd, 13 [cf. died in Vannes, Briany, on April 5, 1419. He was canonized in 1455, 10d]/Jn 11:45R56 and is the patron saint of construcon workers and plumbers because Palm Sunday:Lk 19:28R40/Is 50:4R7/Ps 22:8R9, 17R18, he did so much to build the Church. 19R20, 23R24 [2a]/Phil 2:6R11/ Lk 22:14R23:56 3
