Vicente Ferrer has died today. Today a great man has died. Vicente
Ferrer was born in Barcelona in 1920. Militant POUM (Workers' Party of Marxist Unification), fought in the English Civil War and was only 16 years. Time lived in exile in France after the defeat of the Popular Front, and met briefly Francoist concentration camps. After he joined the Jesuits, which would begin its humanitarian work in India. They fought selflessly for the rights of Indian farmers, earning the suspicion of the chiefs of the place. For over 50 years has dedicated his life to others, the liberation of the oppressed classes, and to mitigate the possible social inequalities that plague our world. A sensitive man to the pain of others, slaughtered and brave. Today
died Vicente Ferrer, and with him died a piece of my heart. If there is a god, surely must be sitting at his side.
sit tibi terra levis
