Saint Anthony of PaduaAlso known as Antonio da Padova António de Lisboa Evangelical Doctor Memorial 13 June ProfileAnthony’s wealthy family wanted him to be a great nobleman, but for the sake of Christ he became a poor Franciscan. Priest.When the remains of Saint Berard and his companions, the first Franciscan martyrs, were brought to be buried in his church, Anthony was moved to leave his order, enter the Friars Minor, and go to Morocco to evangelize. Shipwrecked at Sicily, he joined some other brothers who were going to the church in Portiuncula. Lived in a cave at San Paolo leaving only to attend Mass and sweep the nearby monastery. One day when a scheduled speaker failed to appear, the brothers pressed him into speaking. He impressed them so that he was thereafter constantly travelling, evangelizing, preaching, and teaching theology through Italy and France.A gifted speaker, he attracted crowds everywhere he went, speaking in multiple tongues; legend says that even the fish loved to listen. Miracle worker. One of the most beloved of saints, his images and statues are found everywhere – though none of them portray him as a heavy-set man, which some reports claim he was. Proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946.One source of the well-known patronage for the recovery of lost objects comes from a legend that, long after Anthony’s death, his old prayer book was kept as a treasured relic, and one day it disappeared. People prayed for help in finding the lost item, a novice found it and returned it; he later admitted that he had “borrowed” the book and returned it after receiving a vision of an angry Anthony.Born 1195 at Lisbon, Portugal Died 13 June 1231 of natural causes buried on the Tuesday following his death in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, Padua, Italy legend says that all the sick who visited his new grave were healed Canonized 30 May 1232 by Pope Gregory IX at Spoleto, Italy Patronage against barrenness against shipwreck against starving against sterility American Indians amputees animals asses domestic animals elderly people expectant mothers faith in the Blessed Sacrament fishermen harvests horses lost articles lower animals mail mariners, sailors, watermen, boatmen oppressed people orphans paupers poor people pregnant women seekers of lost articles starving people swineherds
