A Saint For Our Times

|
Today's the feast of St. Vincent Ferrer, a marvelous Dominican preacher known principally for:
  • chastity in the face of strong temptations against it
  • helping to unify the Church in time of schism and
  • converting hundreds upon hundreds of Muslims by his preaching.
If you truly want to help the soul of your neighbor, you should approach God first with all your heart. Ask him simply to fill you with charity, the greatest of all virtues; with it you can accomplish what you desire.

--Saint Vincent Ferrer from On the Spiritual Life
