We thank Allison Gingras at Reconciled To You and Elizabeth Riordan at Theology Is A Verb once again for hosting Catholic bloggers at Worth Revisiting.
It is a privilege for us to share our work with them and their readers each week. Stop by for a visit now.
I decided to share this post:
[Brief update and correction: Father Brian Mulcahy, O.P. was kind enough to inform me of the following: "Because the Memorial of St Vincent Ferrer so often falls either during Holy Week or the Easter Octave, on our Dominican liturgical calendar, his Memorial has been transferred to a month later, on May 5th every year." I am a month early].
Come Meet St. Vincent Ferrer, O.P.

On April 5th, we will celebrate the feast day of one of the greatest preachers, confessors and healers in the history of the Dominican Order, St. Vincent Ferrer (1350-1419).
He preached throughout Europe, unafraid to share the Truth knowing It had the power to convert and transform reluctant and sinful hearts. Thousands of lukewarm Catholics and clergy had their faith reignited. Similarly thousand of Jews and Muslims became Catholics.
One thing is crystal clear: St. Vincent Ferrer’s zeal for the salvation of souls knew no bounds. He valued and tried to reach every soul that crossed his path.
