Saint Vincent Ferrer: His Life and Spiritual Teaching

This short work delves into the life and writings of St. Vincent Ferrer, aiming to inspire readers, especially Dominican religious and third order members, to emulate his holiness. Drawing from the comprehensive biography by Abbé Bayle, the first section offers an overview of his life with emphasis on how St. Vincent lived particular virtues.

The second part presents in full his Treatise on the Spiritual Life. The saints own words contain invaluable practical insights on topics such as silence, purity of heart, mortification, overcoming temptations, and suggestions for a daily rule of life. 

St. Vincent Ferrer (1350-1419), known as the “Angel of the Judgment,” was a Valencian Dominican friar. His powerful preaching and countless miracles drew a great multitude to the faith, particularly during the Western Schism.
