St Vincent Ferrer
by St. Vincent Ferrer, O.P.
“And I find that the Son of God, descending from heaven and assuming human flesh in the virginal womb of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, up to the day on which He ascended to heaven, did thirty principal deeds, which are comprehended and reprised in the Mass.” —Saint Vincent Ferrer
Saint Vincent Ferrer (1350–1419) was a devout preacher of penance, a precursor of the Last Judgment, filled with zeal. In his twenty-year commission, he brought countless souls into the one true Catholic Faith.
In this brief yet powerful booklet, The Life of Christ in the Mass, St. Vincent Ferrer clearly explains how thirty key events from Jesus’s life are represented in the Mass. This is the perfect meditation for any Catholic who wants to draw near to Our Lord in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Walk with Christ throughout the parts of the Mass with St. Vincent as your guide.

by Fr Andrew Pradel, O.P.
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.

Pious tradition relates the story of St. Dominic's vision of the future of his order. One night, deep in prayer, he was granted a vision of the heavenly court, and the walls of Eternity parted to reveal Our Lord and Our Lady.
Suddenly, Dominic began to weep.
When the Lord asked him why he could be so sorrowful, St. Dominic replied that, although he could see so many members of other orders in heaven, he could find not one Dominican. Ever mirthful, Our Lord then indicated his Mother, saying that the order was in her care. At this, Our Lady raised her mantle and spread it wide, revealing a host of Dominicans so vast it seemed to fill the entire heavenly court. Here, come to know these holy men and women of one of the most privileged groups in history.
