St. Vincent Ferrer, Angel of Judgement book

St. Vincent Ferrer, Angel of Judgment book...
St. Vincent Ferrer (1350-1419), during the last 20 years of his life, preached all over Southern Europe that the Last Judgment was imminent if people did not repent and change their lives. He even maintained that he was "The Angel of the Judgment" mentioned in the Apocalypse (Apoc. 14:6-7), and he worked an extraordinary miracle to prove it, which the Church accepted as verification of the truth of his claim. And like Nineve at the warning of the Prophet Jonas, the people did change, and the world was spared, and it has subsisted to the present hour - in large part because of this one man! Yet today hardly anyone has ever heard of St. Vincent Ferrer!

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.  Miracles occurred at every step.  The author says that if her had only worked 8 miracles a day, they would have totaled over 58,000--yet he worked far more than 8 miracles a day.  At his canonization, the judges became weary and stopped the recitation of validated miracles after they exceeded 800.
