April 5: Saint Vincent Ferrer O St. Vincent Ferrer, glorious apostle, worker of miracles, and our loving patron, who in thy lifetime didst convert so many sinners by preaching the Last Judgment. Grant that we too, by meditating upon the Four Last Things, Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell may be enabled to obtain from Almighty God through thine intercession the healing of all our spiritual maladies. Stretch forth thy hand over us, and obtain for us those graces for the welfare of both soul and body, which thou knowest we so earnestly need. We ask of thee to receive our humble prayer for... And by thy mighty merits, intercede for us before the throne of Almighty God that by His grace and blessing we may ever labor for the recovery and restoration of our true Catholic Faith in doctrine, liturgy, morals, devotions, and spiritual practices, for the increase of Christ’s social and universal kingship and for the preparation of the glorious triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Let us pray. O God, who didst vouchsafe to glorify Thy Church by the merits and preaching of Saint Vincent Ferrer, Thy Confessor: grant us Thy servants that we may be taught by his example, and be delivered by his patronage from all adversities. O Lord, make haste to help me. Thou hast redeemed me, O God of truth. Amen Saint Vincent Ferrer pray for us, lift Vinny out of his darkness and grant him healing, through Christ our Lord, Amen.
An update on Vinny. I heard a priest on EWTN say how he prayed to God to have a willingness to quit smoking and one day he woke up and just hated smoking and gave it up. So I have been praying to God to give Vinny the willingness to stop drinking and he has. He says he doesn't even want to drink, he's been going to AA every night and met a guy there who has given him a job which loves. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS FOR HIM!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Amazing!!!! God is great! And this forum is very special. Thank you Padraig, and all those who help Mother of God to continue.
