As the feast of Saint Anthony (June 13) draws near, my memories go back to Padua where I spent several days in 2014.

As the feast of Saint Anthony (June 13) draws near, my memories go back to Padua where I spent several days in 2014.
Older churches most always count Saint Anthony among their pantheon of statues.
The Way, a haunting movie starring Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez, takes its viewers on the road to a very popular destination the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain.
St. Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) was a Franciscan friar who spent a number of years as a traveling preacher.
Franciscans and Muslims encountered one another during the lifetime of Saint Francis (1181-1226). Indeed, he sent friars to the Holy Land in 1217.
The title of this blog may strike some as rather strange and even unorthodox. After all, we know that God is infinite in wisdom, knowledge, and goodness. But it would be incorrect to say that God doesn’t need anything or anyone. We say that because of the most perfect definition and description of God: “God is love” (1 Jn 4:8).
