Vicente Ferrer - the “quiet revolution”

With only seventeen years was called to the fifth in the Republican band in Spanish civil war. Undoubtedly, this experience will influence definitively on his later humanitarian vision.

His first contact with India was in Mumbai in 1952, being a Jesuit missionary, impact of suffering and poverty he saw will mark the rest of his life.

In India, Vicente Ferrer begins a small revolution helping poor. This revolution was based on the concept of “Miracle of Giving,” a financial and technical assistance to collect water for farmers.

Ahimsa (Non-Violence)

The farmer had to return the interest-free loans and thus continue helping more people. Vicente Ferrer organized cooperatives to drill wells, constructed waterways, and seed banks. Furthermore, to two schools and one hospital.

This “silent revolution” creates tensions with power that eventually expel him from India. Over 30,000 people led by activist Madu Metha will manifest against this expulsion.

However, with the help of Indira Gandhi, gets back to Anantapur in the State of Andhra Pradesh, one of the poorest in India; he could not return to Maharashtra.

Two years after abandons the Jesuits, and creates the “Vicente Ferrer Foundation” with his wife, Anne Perry (English journalist).

The vision of Vicente Ferrer, implemented through his foundation, has built three hospitals, thirteen rural clinics, more than 1,600 schools, about 30,000 homes for the poor, has planted over 2.5 million of trees.

His work has benefited to 2.5 million people. Many enterprises and individuals collaborate selflessly helping the foundation.

In 2010, a group of people submitted their candidacy to Nobel Peace Prize.

For his universal vision of “Miracle of giving,” for his life based on the action, and his application of the principle of non-violence (Ahimsa) in its broadest sense; we can consider Vicente Ferrer, as a spiritual leader of Western Civilization and humanity.
