Sant'Antonio da Padova all'interno di Santa Maria Sopra Minerva Assisi - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“Saint Anthony of Padua inside Santa Maria Sopra Minerva Assisi - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
Saint Anthony of Padua, a follower of St. Francis of Assisi, was widely celebrated and known for his reputation as a miracle worker. In fact, he was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII on January 16, 1946. In art, he is often depicted holding a book, a heart, a flame, a lily, or the child Jesus. Some of his authentic writings include sermons for Sundays and feast days, which were published in three volumes in 1979. The defining principle of Saint Anthony's life was his dedication to following Christ and leaving everything else behind. He consistently responded with renewed zeal and self-sacrifice to God's calls for him to fulfill His plans. Despite feeling hesitant, Anthony accepted the call to speak at an ordination where no one else was prepared. His years of prayer, Scripture reading, and service had prepared him to allow the Spirit to use his talents. His sermon was so astounding that those who expected an unprepared speech were amazed by the Spirit's power to give him the right words. Anthony was recognized as an exceptional man of prayer, a great scholar of Scripture and theology, and a prolific orator. He became the first friar to teach theology to other friars. On June 13, he fell seriously ill and requested to be taken back to Padua, where he eventually passed away after receiving the last sacraments. Saint Anthony, who was known as the finder of lost objects and causes, found himself by completely losing himself to the providence of God.
