from the film about
St. Anthony of Padua.
‘Antonio guerriero di Dio'(2006)
Saint Anthony was canonized (declared a saint) less than one year after his death.
There is perhaps no more loved and admired saint in the Catholic Church than Saint Anthony of Padua, a Doctor of the Church. Though his work was in Italy, he was born in Portugal. He first joined the Augustinian Order and then left it and joined the Franciscan Order in 1221, when he was 26 years old. The reason he became a Franciscan was because of the death of the five Franciscan protomartyrs — St. Bernard, St. Peter, St. Otho, St. Accursius, and St. Adjutus — who shed their blood for the Catholic Faith in the year 1220, in Morocco, in North Africa, and whose headless and mutilated bodies had been brought to St. Anthony’s monastery on their way back for burial. St. Anthony became a Franciscan in the hope of shedding his own blood and becoming a martyr. He lived only ten years after joining the Franciscan Order.

Homily #151013b ( 15min) Play – Fr. Alan on the great miracle of the sun of the final Marian apparition at Fatima, Portugal this day ninety-eight years ago. He recounts some of the actual eyewitness testimonies of the event which was seen by seventy thousand people. He points out that many of those most connected to these events including the mother of Lucia, the main seer in the apparition, that even though she also testifies that the miracle occurred, was very unsure that Mary the Mother of God appeared, and especially to her own daughter. In this we see the greatness of what occurred there which was truly beyond our ability to fully comprehend.
