FERRER

Born on January 23, 1374 at Valencia, Spain.  He entered the Order of St. Dominic in 1374.  He was commissioned to deliver lectures in philosophy.  He continued his scholastic duties after being sent to Barcelona and devoted himself to preaching.  After he received his doctorate at Lerida, he spent six years in Valencia perfecting himself in Christian life.  In 1390 he accompanied Cardinal Pedro de Luna to France.  In 1394 de Luna became Pope, he made St. Vincent master of the sacred palace.  There he was unsuccessful to put an end to the great schism.  The only position he wanted was apostolical missionary, having refused several other positions.  He evangelized all over Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Flanders, England, Scotland and Ireland. By the gift of miracles, God, Himself, aided in his making  countless conversions.  He also preached the Gospel with much success to Mohammedan Granada when invited.  He died April 5, 1419.
