St. Anthony of Padua


St Anthony was born in Portugal in 1195. When he was a boy he wanted desperately to be a knight for the Church. But God had an even better plan in mind. Anthony would become a great crusader for the Church, but his only weapon would be his special love for the Child Jesus!

Anthony became an Augustinian monk at the age of 15. He studied hard. His heart was  burning to tell everyone about the wonders of Jesus’ love.  After Anthony became a priest, he heard of five Franciscan friars who had been martyred for their faith while on a crusade. Anthony became a Franciscan, but did not become a martyr.  Instead, God game him the gift of great preaching, and he converted countless souls.

One night, while staying at the castle of a friend, a great light came from Anthony’s room. Was it on fire? His friend rushed up the stairs and into the room, and saw that the great light came not from a fire, but from the Child Jesus! Anthony was raising Jesus up in his arms, and Jesus was reaching down to play with Anthony’s beard.


Jesus, help me WATCH, WAIT, and WORK to bring your love into my heart and my home!
