Prayer to Saint Vincent Ferrer
O Saint Vincent Ferrer, our guardian, because God, our eternal Father, has blessed you with an inexhaustible fountain of grace and blessings, we beg you to hear our prayers and to assist us with your powerful intercession, which is even more effective now that you are in heaven than it was when you were on earth. Full of confidence in your mercy and compassion, we kneel in prayer before you, and commend to your powerful intercession all our needs, those of our families, our friends, relatives, and benefactors, and especially . . . (here mention the favors desired). Glorious St. Vincent Ferrer, let not our hope and confidence in your protection be deceived. Intercede for us before the throne of God. Watch over our eternal welfare. If our trials and tribulations in this world multiply, may they serve to give us spiritual joy and happiness, if God will only grant us the grace of ever increasing patience to the end that we may save our souls.
O St. Vincent Ferrer, new Angel of the Apocalypse and our kind protector, receive our humble prayers and obtain for us an abundance of divine favors. By that love which inflamed your heart, obtain for us from the Father of mercies the pardon of all our sins, confirmation in our faith, and perseverance in good works. By living as good and fervent Christians may we become more worthy of your powerful intercession. Extend your protection to our bodies and free us from our infirmities. Protect our land from the violence of storms and disasters, and keep misfortune far from us. Thus blessed and protected by you in soul and body, we shall be ever devoted to you, and one day, with God’s grace, be with you in heaven, there to praise God forever and ever. Amen.

María de los Buenos Aires, operita de Piazzolla-Ferrer
producción fotográfica realizada en Buenos Aires para la puesta de la obra en el Norfolk and Norwich Festival de Gran Bretaña (2004).
Para señalar el plan y el picante por igual, Abulafia toma una hoja de compositor James Macmillan y establece a Maria (escrito en 1968) en la época de los "desaparecidos", de las tiranías de Videla y Galtieri, equivalente en Buenos Aires al golpe de Pinochet, una época en que fueron asesinados 30.000 argentinos. Esta interpretación funciona bastante bien.
To point up the plangency and piquancy alike, Abulafia takes a leaf from composer James Macmillan and set Maria (written in 1968) in the time of the "desaparecidos", of the Videla and Galtieri tyrannies, Buenos Aires' equivalent of the Pinochet coup, an era when 30,000 Argentines were murdered. This interpretation works rather well.

There has been a church here, looking over the River Tavy since the Saxon era. The church now consists of nave, chancel, long north and south transepts, north chapel, south aisle, west tower and south porch. the River Tavy, since the Saxon era.
Shortly after 1066, the Normans built a new church from which the 12c font of Hurdwick stone from Tavistock, lined with lead and large enough to allow for complete immersion, is a survivor www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/
This church was replaced c 1243 by Sir William de Ferrers d1280 who lies with one of his wives under an arch north of the chancel altar. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/ca39t9BYh6 He founded an Arch Presbytery, with 4 priests and a deacon under an Arch Priest. The first rector was William's younger brother Reginald de Ferrers, who was installed in 1258. The clergymen lived across the road from the church, with their quarters joined by an underground passage. Supported by choirboys they said daily prayers for the souls of Sir William and his wife from one of 5 altars throughout the day & night.
The presbytery was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1533, but even today the rector of Bere Ferrers bears the title of Arch Priest.
In the north transept is an effigy widely thought to be William's son, Sir Reginald de Ferrers 1315 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/r0jB3k16m6
c 1332, Sir William's grandson, son of Reginald, another William, extended the church, in part with money from a successful silver mine nearby . However the success of the mine came to the attention of Edward I who annexed it for the Crown & and ordered the silver to be sent to London.
This Sir William is thought to be the knight kneeling in the wonderful 14c stained glass in the chancel east window being the oldest glass of any parish church in Devon.

The building was extended again in the 15c when the south transept was enlarged to create an aisle, possibly followed by the tower. Despite this, and later 17c remodelling of the interior, much of what we can see today is unaltered 14c work
All restored in 1871

"For, when a person enters into himself with a view to discover his corruption, to despise himself, and bewail his miseries - when he attentively examines the workings of his own heart - he lights upon so much that intimately concerns himself, that he can no longer think of anything else. Thus, forgetting and driving far from him every image of what he has seen and heard, and even of the exterior acts that he has performed, he begins to enter into a state of recollection, to come nearer to the innocence of childhood, and to participate in the purity of the blessed spirits. Thus, totally occupied with reflections on himself, his eyes are opened to view the things of God; while he gradually disposes his heart to rise to the contemplation of what is most sublime, whether it be in the angels, or in God Himself. The soul is by this means inflamed with a love of celestial goods, and looks upon those of the earth as of no account. Then, perfect charity begins to burn in the heart, and its divine heat consumes therein all the rust of sin. But when charity is thus in possession of the soul, vanity no longer finds access to it. All its thoughts, words, and acts are produced by the movements of charity."
– St Vincent Ferrer.

José Ferrer (1912- 1992) was an American actor and film director, who was born in Puerto Rico. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his title role in Cyrano de Bergerac (1951). Ferrer was frequently used as a villain in his later film career.
José Ferrer was born José Vicente Ferrer de Otero y Cintrón in San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico in 1912. Ferrer's father was Rafael Ferrer, a lawyer, landowner and author who was born and raised in San Juan. Ferrer's mother was María Providencia Cintrón, a native of the coastal town of Yabucoa. Ferrer's paternal grandfather was Dr. Gabriel Ferrer Hernández, who had campaigned for Puerto Rican independence from the Spanish Empire. The Ferrer family moved to New York City in 1914, when José was 2 years old. As a school student, Ferrer was educated abroad at the Institut Le Rosey, a prestigious boarding school located in Rolle, Switzerland. According to the wishes of his father, José should become a concert pianist. Ferrer studied architecture, music and composition at Princeton University. He wrote a dissertation called French Naturalism and Pardo Bazán, about the Spanish naturalist writer Emilia Pardo Bazán. In 1934, Ferrer transferred to Columbia University, where he studied Roman languages. In 1934, while still a college student, Ferrer made his theatrical debut in Long Island-based theatre. In 1935, he was hired as the stage manager at the Suffern Country Playhouse. Later in 1935, Ferrer made his Broadway debut in the comedy play 'A Slight Case of Murder' by Damon Runyon and Howard Lindsay. Ferrer had a major success on Broadway in the play 'Brother Rat' by John Monks Jr. and Fred F. Finklehoffe. The play ran 577 performances from 1936 to 1938. Very successful were also 'Mamba's Daughters (1938) and 'Charley's Aunt' (1940). Even more successful was the 1943 play 'Othello' in which he co-starred as the villainous Iago opposite the Othello of Paul Robeson. 'Othello' was the longest-played Shakespeare play in the United States. The record remains unbroken to this day. In 1946, Ferrer starred in 'Cyrano de Bergerac', his most successful play. He won a Tony Award for his performance. In 1948, Ferrer made his film debut by co-starring with Ingrid Bergman in Joan of Arc (Victor Fleming, 1948). He played the historical monarch Charles VII of France, the ruler who Joan of Arc served during the Hundred Years' War. For his debut role, Ferrer was nominated for an Oscar for Best Male Supporting Actor. Ferrer's success as a film actor, helped him gain more film roles in Hollywood-produced films. He played the smooth-talking hypnotist David Korvo in the Film Noir Whirlpool (Otto Preminger, 1949) with Gene Tierney, and dictator Raoul Farrago in the Film Noir Crisis (Richard Brooks, 1950) starring Cary Grant. In 1950, Ferrer won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Cyrano de Bergerac in the film version, Cyrano de Bergerac (Michael Gordon, 1950). He was the first Puerto Rican actor and also the first Hispanic actor to win an Academy Award.
In 1952, José Ferrer won three Tony Awards for directing three plays, namely 'The Shrike', 'Stalag 17' and 'The Fourposter' and he won another Tony for acting in 'The Shrike'. In 1952, Ferrer played the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the historical drama Moulin Rouge (John Huston, 1952). His role earned him an Oscar nomination, but the award was instead won by Gary Cooper. The film also marked a financial success for Ferrer, who received 40% of the film's profits. In 1954, Ferrer took on the role of defence attorney Barney Greenwald in The Caine Mutiny. From 1955 onwards, he also directed a number of films, most of which he also starred in as an actor. First, he directed a film version of The Shrike (José Ferrer, 1955). I Accuse! (José Ferrer, 1958) is a reimagining of the Dreyfus Affair. While still critically well-received, several of these films were box office flops. He took a hiatus from film productions. In 1959, he directed a play called 'The Andersonville Trial', about the consequences of the American Civil War. The play featured George C. Scott. He then took over directing the musical 'Juno'. After sixteen performances, the musical stopped due to a lack of success, which was a setback for Ferrer's directing career. Ferrer attempted a comeback as a film director with the sequel film "Return to Peyton Place" (1961) and the musical film "State Fair" (1962). Both films were box office flops. As an actor, Ferrer appeared as a Turkish Bey in the historical drama Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean, 1962) with Peter O'Toole, as historical monarch Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea in the Bible epic The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) and Ship of Fools (Stanley Kramer, 1965). In television, Ferrer gained a notable role as the narrator in the pilot episode of the hit sitcom Bewitched (1964). In 1968, he featured as a voice actor, playing the villain Ben Haramed in the TV film The Little Drummer Boy. But at this time, he started having legal troubles. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) accused Ferrer of still owing unpaid taxes since 1962.
José Ferrer had many film roles in the 1970s, but no outstanding highlights. He played one of the many passengers in Voyage of the Damned (Stuart Rosenberg, 1976) with Faye Dunaway, Doctor Vando in Fedora (Billy Wilder, 1978) with William Holden and Marthe Keller and Athos in The Fifth Musketeer (Ken Annakin, 1979), starring Beau Bridges and Sylvia Kristel. In the 1980s, he starred in the popular comedy series Newhart as Julia Duffy's father. In the early 1980s, he also played the role of Reuben Marino in the soap opera Another World. In the cinema, he appeared in A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy (Woody Allen, 1982), To Be or Not to Be (Mel Brooks, 1983) and Dune (David Lynch, 1984), an adaptation of the 1965 novel 'Dune' by Frank Herbert. This was among the last notable roles of Ferrer's long career. Ferred retired from acting entirely in 1991, due to increasing health problems. His last theatrical performance was a production of the generation-gap drama 'Conversations with My Father'. José Ferrer, who spoke perfect French, Italian and German in addition to Spanish and English, was married a total of four times. His wives were Uta Hagen (1938-1948), actress Phyllis Hill (1948-1953) and the singer and actress Rosemary Clooney (1953-1961 / 1964-1967). From 1977 until his death, he was married to Stella Magee. With Uta Hagen, he had a daughter. With Rosemary Clooney, he had five children born between 1955 and 1960. His oldest son, actor Miguel Ferrer (1955-2017) was known for his role in Medical Examiners. He was followed by Maria Ferrer (1956;) Gabriel Ferrer (1957) married to singer Debby Boone, daughter of Pat Boone; Monsita Ferrer (1958) and Rafael Ferrer (1960). Ferrer was the uncle of actor George Clooney. In 1992, José Ferrer died of colorectal cancer at the age of 80 in Coral Gables, Florida. He was buried in Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery in Old San Juan in his native Puerto Rico.

Sot de Ferrer és un municipi del País Valencià que es troba a la comarca de l'Alt Palància. La primera notícia del poble, es remunta a 1236 quan hi havia a l'actual terme 3 alqueries musulmanes; en 1245, rere l'ocupació cristiana pertany a Hurtado de Lihori qui li dóna el nom de Sot i hi edificà un palau al voltant del qual va anar creixent el caseriu; després de passar pel senyoriu dels Val de Corranza; fins el segle XVI es denominava Soto del Gobernador, i canvia a l'actual denominació per la influència del cognom del governador, Jaume Ferrer; sembla que la població formava part del territori que integrava el senyoriu de Vall d'Almedíxer, i fins el 1609 era habitat exclusivament per sarraïns.

There's nothing more cathartic after a long day at work than to paint colour selectively back into an image after desaturating it.
By no means a great shot but a bit of fun nonetheless.

"Almighty God,
through the preaching of Saint Vincent
you have taught us to walk
the narrow way to the kingdom of heaven
in expectation of the coming of our Saviour.
Through his intercession,
may we be fervent in action and love,
seeking not this earthly city
but the one that is to come.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen."
Today, 5 May, the Order of Preachers celebrates the feast of one of her most illustrious saints, Vincent Ferrer. In the Order the feast is moved from 5 April so that it can be fittingly celebrated outside of Lent/Holy Week.

On 5 May, the Order of Preachers celebrates the feast of one of its greatest preachers and miracle-workers, St Vincent Ferrer.
This stained glass of the saint is in the church of St Dominic in Washington D.C.
St Vincent Ferrer, said to be of Scots or English parentage, was born in Valencia and joined the Dominicans at the age of 17. In 1399, with the approval of the Pope, he set out on his mission as a preacher. For twenty years he travelled through western Europe, with thousands flocking to hear him wherever he was. From 1408 he worked mostly south of the Pyrenees. Among others, he preached to the Jews, of whom some 25,000 were converted to Christianity; and in the Kingdom of Granada he converted thousands of Muslims. In 1417 he moved on to Brittany and continued his work there: he died in Vannes in Brittany on 5 April 1419. Today is his feast day in the Universal Church.
This statue of the Saint is from Old St Patrick's Basilica in New York City.

José Ferrer (1912- 1992) was an American actor and film director, who was born in Puerto Rico. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his title role in Cyrano de Bergerac (1951). Ferrer was frequently used as a villain in his later film career.
José Ferrer was born José Vicente Ferrer de Otero y Cintrón in San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico in 1912. Ferrer's father was Rafael Ferrer, a lawyer, landowner and author who was born and raised in San Juan. Ferrer's mother was María Providencia Cintrón, a native of the coastal town of Yabucoa. Ferrer's paternal grandfather was Dr. Gabriel Ferrer Hernández, who had campaigned for Puerto Rican independence from the Spanish Empire. The Ferrer family moved to New York City in 1914, when José was 2 years old. As a school student, Ferrer was educated abroad at the Institut Le Rosey, a prestigious boarding school located in Rolle, Switzerland. According to the wishes of his father, José should become a concert pianist. Ferrer studied architecture, music and composition at Princeton University. He wrote a dissertation called French Naturalism and Pardo Bazán, about the Spanish naturalist writer Emilia Pardo Bazán. In 1934, Ferrer transferred to Columbia University, where he studied Roman languages. In 1934, while still a college student, Ferrer made his theatrical debut in Long Island-based theatre. In 1935, he was hired as the stage manager at the Suffern Country Playhouse. Later in 1935, Ferrer made his Broadway debut in the comedy play 'A Slight Case of Murder' by Damon Runyon and Howard Lindsay. Ferrer had a major success on Broadway in the play 'Brother Rat' by John Monks Jr. and Fred F. Finklehoffe. The play ran 577 performances from 1936 to 1938. Very successful were also 'Mamba's Daughters (1938) and 'Charley's Aunt' (1940). Even more successful was the 1943 play 'Othello' in which he co-starred as the villainous Iago opposite the Othello of Paul Robeson. 'Othello' was the longest-played Shakespeare play in the United States. The record remains unbroken to this day. In 1946, Ferrer starred in 'Cyrano de Bergerac', his most successful play. He won a Tony Award for his performance. In 1948, Ferrer made his film debut by co-starring with Ingrid Bergman in Joan of Arc (Victor Fleming, 1948). He played the historical monarch Charles VII of France, the ruler who Joan of Arc served during the Hundred Years' War. For his debut role, Ferrer was nominated for an Oscar for Best Male Supporting Actor. Ferrer's success as a film actor, helped him gain more film roles in Hollywood-produced films. He played the smooth-talking hypnotist David Korvo in the Film Noir Whirlpool (Otto Preminger, 1949) with Gene Tierney, and dictator Raoul Farrago in the Film Noir Crisis (Richard Brooks, 1950) starring Cary Grant. In 1950, Ferrer won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Cyrano de Bergerac in the film version, Cyrano de Bergerac (Michael Gordon, 1950). He was the first Puerto Rican actor and also the first Hispanic actor to win an Academy Award.
In 1952, José Ferrer won three Tony Awards for directing three plays, namely 'The Shrike', 'Stalag 17' and 'The Fourposter' and he won another Tony for acting in 'The Shrike'. In 1952, Ferrer played the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the historical drama Moulin Rouge (John Huston, 1952). His role earned him an Oscar nomination, but the award was instead won by Gary Cooper. The film also marked a financial success for Ferrer, who received 40% of the film's profits. In 1954, Ferrer took on the role of defence attorney Barney Greenwald in The Caine Mutiny. From 1955 onwards, he also directed a number of films, most of which he also starred in as an actor. First, he directed a film version of The Shrike (José Ferrer, 1955). I Accuse! (José Ferrer, 1958) is a reimagining of the Dreyfus Affair. While still critically well-received, several of these films were box office flops. He took a hiatus from film productions. In 1959, he directed a play called 'The Andersonville Trial', about the consequences of the American Civil War. The play featured George C. Scott. He then took over directing the musical 'Juno'. After sixteen performances, the musical stopped due to a lack of success, which was a setback for Ferrer's directing career. Ferrer attempted a comeback as a film director with the sequel film "Return to Peyton Place" (1961) and the musical film "State Fair" (1962). Both films were box office flops. As an actor, Ferrer appeared as a Turkish Bey in the historical drama Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean, 1962) with Peter O'Toole, as historical monarch Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea in the Bible epic The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) and Ship of Fools (Stanley Kramer, 1965). In television, Ferrer gained a notable role as the narrator in the pilot episode of the hit sitcom Bewitched (1964). In 1968, he featured as a voice actor, playing the villain Ben Haramed in the TV film The Little Drummer Boy. But at this time, he started having legal troubles. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) accused Ferrer of still owing unpaid taxes since 1962.
José Ferrer had many film roles in the 1970s, but no outstanding highlights. He played one of the many passengers in Voyage of the Damned (Stuart Rosenberg, 1976) with Faye Dunaway, Doctor Vando in Fedora (Billy Wilder, 1978) with William Holden and Marthe Keller and Athos in The Fifth Musketeer (Ken Annakin, 1979), starring Beau Bridges and Sylvia Kristel.

"Almighty and ever-living God,
you taught us through the preaching of Saint Vincent
to run the path to our heavenly home in expectation of the Saviour.
With the help of his prayers may we be fervent in labour and in love
and seek no lasting city here below, but an eternal dwelling place to come.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever. Amen."
St Vincent was born in Valencia, Spain, in 1350 and entered the Order at the age of seventeen. He embraced the discipline of an austere spiritual life, a beautiful testimony to which he left in his treatise On the Spiritual Life. In the midst of his philosophical and theological study he took on between 1380 and 1390 the task of reconciling both civil and ecclesiastical disputes at the command of Peter de Luna, Cardinal Legate, and John I, King of Spain. Meanwhile he was also a dedicated preacher, notably at the papal household in Avignon and later in southern France until in 1399 he gave himself wholly to itinerant preaching. At first he supported an antipope, Benedict XIII, but later tried in vain to obtain his abdication, being greatly concerned for the peace and unity of the Church. Possessed of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and apostolic ability, he travelled throughout western Europe preaching efficaciously and with great charisma, gaining many souls for Christ. He died in Vannes, France, on 5 April 1419, and was canonized by Callistus III on 29 June 1455.
The memorial of this great Dominican preacher is often kept by the Order of Preachers on this day instead of 5 April as it often falls in Lent. This image of the saint is in the church of the Holy Name of Mary in Rome.
An excellent biography and source of prayers to the saint may be found here.
"In those regions on the other side of the mountains I found many valleys of heretics, both Waldensians and the peverse Gazarites, especially in the diocese of Turin.
I visited all of them, preaching in each of them the faith and doctrine of Catholic truth, along with the proof of their errors. By the mercy of God they ardently accepted the truth of the faith with reverence and great sentiments of devotion. The Lord indeed aided and confirmed my preaching.
I discovered that a principle reason for heresies and errors in these places was a lack of preaching. As I correctly perceived from the inhabitants there, thirty years had elapsed during which no one had preached to them but the Waldensian heretics, who would come to them twice a year from Apuleia. Imagine, Reverend Master, what great blame is laid on prelates of the Church and others who, by reason of their office or their profession, are responsible for preaching to such persons, but instead take their ease, enjoying themselves in their pretty rooms in the large towns and villages. In the meantime souls, for whose salvation Christ died, are perishing from lack of spiritual nourishment, since there is no one to break bread for these little ones. The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Hence I pray the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into his harvest."
– from a letter of St Vincent Ferrer, whose feast is transferred to this day (5 May) in the Dominican Order.
