Sant'Antonio da Padova Abbraccia Gesù Bambino - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“St. Anthony of Padua Embracing the Child Jesus - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
Saint Anthony of Padua was a devoted follower of St. Francis of Assisi and was celebrated for his reputation as a miracle worker. His exceptional character and unwavering dedication to following Christ earned him the title of Doctor of the Church, declared by Pope Pius XII on January 16, 1946. In depictions of Saint Anthony, he is often shown holding a book, a heart, a flame, a lily, or the child Jesus. His published sermons for Sundays and feast days are a testament to his authenticity and commitment to his faith. Throughout his life, Saint Anthony remained steadfast in his devotion to God, responding with renewed zeal and self-sacrifice to fulfill His plans. Despite his initial hesitancy, he accepted the call to speak at an ordination where no one else was prepared. His years of prayer, Scripture reading, and service had equipped him to allow the Spirit to use his talents, delivering an astounding sermon that left his audience in awe of the Spirit's power. Saint Anthony was revered for his exceptional prayer life, theological scholarship, and oratory skills, becoming the first friar to teach theology to other friars. He requested to be taken back to Padua when he fell seriously ill on June 13 and eventually passed away after receiving the last sacraments. Saint Anthony, known for his ability to find lost objects and causes, found himself by surrendering completely to God's providence. As a tribute to his legacy and the ancient beauty of Saint Anthony's Basilica in Padua, I painted a representation of him embracing the infant Jesus. I pray that it is a fitting tribute to his contribution to our faith.
