Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time October 8, 2017
One of my favorite saints is St. Anthony of Padua. St. Anthony of Padua however began his life as Fernando Martines de Bulhoes. He was born in Lisbon in 1195 and died in Padua, Italy in 1231. He is also known as St. Anthony of Lisbon. St. Anthony was born into a very wealthy family. I was privileged to
celebrate Mass at the Shrine of St. Anthony in Lisbon which is built above the beautiful home where the young Anthony was brought up. From a young boy Anthony dreamed of being a missioner. He dreamed of converting the Muslims. Anthony’s life changed dramatically when five Franciscan Friars bodies were returned from Morocco. These priests had preached at the mosques in Seville. They moved to Morocco and despite repeated warnings, continued to preach the Gospel. In time his parents allowed him to enter seminary and he was ordained a priest. He decided to join the Augustinian Order and with the blessing of his family and community, set off to fulfill his dream in North Africa. However, God had a different plan for this bright, loving, and holy man.
Anthony’s ship was caught in a bad storm and they had to land off the coast of Italy. Anthony began preaching where he had landed. He heard about the wonderful young man, his contemporary, Francis of Assisi. The two men met. Anthony decided to become a Franciscan as he was deeply moved by the lives of Francis and Claire. Both St. Francis and St. Claire were alsofrom very wealthy backgrounds and left behind their riches to care for the poor and afflicted. They were both very charismatic and the young Anthony wanted to be part of their circle.
St. Francis is typically portrayed as holding the Child Jesus or a lily or a book or all three in his arms. He was gifted as an incredible preacher and invited to teach in Bologna. At Easter in 1228 when Anthony was only 33 years old, he met Pope Gregory in Rome and was invited to speak. The response was so great the people said “The event of Pentecost was repeated.”
He moved to Padua and was elected Superior General of Northern Italy. As he preached he brought many lost souls back to Christ. Over time he has become known as the finder of lost things. But in reality he brought souls back into the bosom of the Lord. Often time’s more than 30,000 people attended his preaching. His life became increasingly busy. His Masses were very well attended. After his morning Mass and sermon he would hear confessions. This sometimes lasted all day as did his fasting. During the Lent of 1231 he pushed himself beyond what his frail body was able to do. He received the Sacrament of the Dying and at only 36 years of age he died. They following year Pope Gregory X, moved by the many miracles that occurred at Anthony’s tomb, declared hi m a saint. He was a man of great penance and apostolic zeal but he was primarily a saint of the people.
