Vincent Ferrer, (born c. 1350, Valencia, Aragon—died April 5, 1419, Vannes, France; canonized 1455; feast day April 5) 

Today (April 5) is the Feast of one of my favorite saints - St Vincent Ferrer.  He was gifted by God with many graces to perform miracles, great preaching, multitude conversions, raised dead people back to life and many other miracles and gifts. He is the patron saint of brick makers, builders, construction workers, plumbers and tile makers.  

Why does Saint Vincent Ferrer have wings?

“Saint Vincent Ferrer was drawn with a trumpet because when he preached, his voice could reach 3 miles away, and it was a miracle,” the caretaker said. The saint was pictured with wings because a number of people have seen him assume wings and fly off to a suffering person while preaching. (Source: popularanswers.org)

St Vincent Ferrer was known as the “Angel of the Apocalypse” in the Middle Ages. He foretold what the end of the world will be like and gives warning and instructions how to be saved during that period of time. St Vincent Ferrer, pray for us!

On that day it will be better to be a sheep of Jesus Christ that to have been a pope, or king, or emperor.
