Miracles of St. Vincent Ferrer
HOW SAINT VINCENT FERRER CONVINCED A MAN WHO HIS CHILD WAS
Saint Vincent performed another miracle at Gerona, where he met a man that accused his wife of infidelity, near him was his wife with an infant in her arms, still at the breast and much to small to walk or understand speech. The man was devoured by a frenzy of jealousy. Brother Vincent saw him, saw what fire burned in him, and preached upon Jealousy. Suddenly he turned to the man. “You doubt your wife’s faithfulness, do you not? You think this child is not yours? Well, watch!” Then he cried in a great voice to the child: “Embrace your father!” The infant stirred, stood upright, turned towards the man and held out its arms. And thus was the man cured and the family peace restored.
SAINT VINCENT FERRER BRINGS MURDERED BABY BACK TO LIFE
The father of a certain child had given Vincent lodging while he was on a missionary journey. His wife, a virtuous woman, suffered from bad attacks of nerves, and at times was close to madness. Upon his return from hearing one of Vincent's sermons, the father came upon a terrible tragedy. His wife had gone mad, cut their small son's throat, then chopped up the boy's body and roasted a portion of it, which she then attempted to serve her husband.
When he realized what had happened, the man fled in horror and disgust to St. Vincent Ferrer. Vincent told him that-as in the case of the crushed Jew-the tragedy would be for the glory of God. St. Vincent went with the father back to the home and prayed as he gathered the bloody pieces together. He said to the father...
"If you have faith, God, who created this little soul from nothing, can bring him back to life."
Vincent knelt and prayed. He made the Sign of the Cross over the reassembled body. The pieces became united together, the body came to life again, and Vincent handed over to the father a living child. This event is depicted in a painting by Francesco del Cossa in the New Picture Gallery in the Vatican.Bishop Ranzano claimed this as one of the miracles submitted in the canonization process for St. Vincent Ferrer.
HOW SAINT VINCENT FERRER PROVED HE WAS THE BIBLICAL ANGEL OF THE APOCALYPSE
.
Saint Vincent Proclaimed to many that he was the literal Angel of the Apocalypse that the Bible speaks of on many occassions. Once when St. Vincent was preaching to thousands at Salamanca, he suddenly stopped and said as he attested to many times
.
"I am the Angel of the Apocalypse and am preaching Judgment!"
.
Then he directed...
.
"Some of you go near St. Paul's Gate, and you will find a dead person borne on men's shoulders on the way to the grave. Bring the corpse hither, and you shall hear the proof of what I tell you."
.
The men went on their errand, the multitude waited, and soon the bier was brought with a dead woman upon it. They raised the litter and set it up so all could see. St. Vincent bade her return to life, and the dead woman sat up.
.
"Who am I?" Vincent asked her.
She answered: "You, Father Vincent, are the Angel of the Apocalypse, as you have already told this vast assembly."
.
After her testimony she died again.
