St.Vincent Ferrer - The Angel of Apocalypse

The Greatest Miracle Worker since the days of the 12 Apostles

St.Louis Bertrand testified: "God sanctioned the teaching of Vincent Ferrer by so many miracles, (includes rising more than 30 dead ones back to life in the name
of Jesus Christ), that there never was a saint since the days of the Apostles to our own times, who wrought more". The Church officially recognized 892 of his miracles as part of his canonisation, but the total number is estimated to be in hundreds of thousands.
For if he had performed only 8 miracles a day during the 20 years of his apostolate, the number would have exceeded fifty-eight thousand. Yet this amazing number is considered woefully low by those who were contemporaries.

2. When John was a boy he entered a strict Observant Franciscan friary at Greenwich.

When it was dissolved in 1559 [by the Protestant forces] he moved to Pontoise, where he professed his vows. He later travelled to Rome and stayed at the Aracoeli friary.

3. While in Rome John joined the Roman province of the Reformati, a yet stricter branch of the Friars Minor.

In 1591 he asked to join the English Mission. Despite the evident risk to his life, his superiors agreed. He received a blessing and commendation from Pope Clement VIII.

“ISN’T PRAYING TO MARY AND THE SAINTS BREAKING THE FIRST COMMANDMENT?”

~thread~
1. “QUESTION:

I was wondering about praying to Mary and to the saints. God gave us ten commandments and the first of those is ‘thou shalt not have strange gods before me.’
#TenCommandments #Bible
2. Is praying to Mary and the Saints not breaking that Commandment?

ANSWER:

The first Commandment as you rightly point out is about worshipping God and Him alone: True worship (as opposed to veneration or honour) does indeed belong to God alone,

#Christianity #CatholicChurch
3. and we should never worship man or any other creature as we worship God.

When we pray to Mary or to the saints, we’re simply asking them to help us, by praying to God on our behalf. We do not worship them. We do not make them God.
