As today is Saturday, April 5, 2025, the Catholic Church commemorates St. Vincent Ferrer, a Dominican priest renowned for his missionary work and preaching during the 14th century.
Collect for St. Vincent Ferrer:
O God, who raised up the priest Saint Vincent Ferrer to minister by the preaching of the Gospel, grant, we pray, that when the Judge comes, whom Saint Vincent proclaimed on earth, we may be among those blessed to behold him reigning in heaven. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
Amen.
This prayer honors St. Vincent’s dedication to spreading the Gospel and seeks his intercession for our readiness to meet Christ the Judge.
