Seeker of the Lost: Saint Anthony of Padua

Saint Anthony of Padua 1195 – 1231

Who was St. Anthony of Padua? He was born in Lisbon, Portugal in 1195. The path of his walk with God was a wandering one, with many unexpected twists and turns. Anthony lived his faith in every circumstance in which he found himself, believing that anything that happened to him was an opportunity to grow closer to God and to trust Him in all things. His travels took him to North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and much of Europe, and in each place he preached by word and example about how to live a better life and attain the joys of heaven. When we ask St. Anthony for his prayers, we find that miracles can happen. Why does Our Lord favor the prayers of St. Anthony on our behalf with such courtesy?
