[35] In 1692, Spanish missionaries came across a small Payaya Indian community along what was then known as the Yanaguana River on the feast day of Saint Anthony, 13 June. The Franciscan chaplain, Father Damien Massanet, with agreement from General Domingo de Teran, renamed the rivers in his honor, and eventually built a mission nearby, as well. This mission became the focal point of a small community that eventually grew in size and scope to become the seventh-largest city in the country, the U.S. city of San Antonio, Texas. [15] Anthony too demurred, but finally began to speak in a simple, artless way. The fire within him became evident. His knowledge was unmistakable, but his holiness was what really impressed everyone there. Monti, Dominic V. (O.F.M.) (2008). Francis and His Brothers. A Popular History of the Franciscan Friars.

I ran home and got a string with some magnets on it and started "fishing" for the keys where I had dropped them. After a few minutes, I had exhausted my patience and was ready to give up. I said a prayer to St. Anthony and prepared to make "one last" attempt to fish for them. But my hand slipped and I ended up tossing the magnet several feet away from where the keys had dropped.I thought I had surely wasted my last throw.But low and behold, I pulled those keys right up on that last throw. - Chris The missing soldier Finding the Real St. Anthony: Devotion to St. Anthony of Padua". 8 December 2000.

[24] As I dumped them into the garbage bag, I saw something glimmer. With a surge of astonishment and anticipation, I emptied the garbage bag out on the floor of the closet.

I admit it was a pitiful attempt, but I had limited desire and energy for the rest of the closet, it was late at night, and I needed to start small.I dumped the entire basket into the garbage bag, feeling I had at least made a start at purging and thinking how silly it was to save twenty years of extra buttons when I could not recall needing a single one.

First, there is the very real fact of Anthony’s own travels in preaching the gospel, particularly his journey and mission to preach the gospel in Morocco, a mission cut short by severe illness. But after his recovery and return to Europe, he was a man always on the go, heralding the Good News.In 1228, he served as envoy from the general chapter to Pope Gregory IX. At the papal court, his preaching was hailed as a "jewel case of the Bible" and he was commissioned to produce his collection of sermons, Sermons for Feast Days (Sermones in Festivitates). Gregory IX described Anthony as the " Ark of the Testament" (Doctor Arca testamenti).

At the time of Anthony, it was one of the most important cities in the country, with an important university for the study of civil and canon law. Sometimes Anthony left Padua for greater solitude. He went to a place loved by Francis—LaVerna, where Francis received the wounds of Jesus. He also found a grotto near the friary where he could pray in solitude.

Mt. Airy holds a special place in the hearts of friars and friends. Vocation decisions made by novices affected the course of the Cincinnati province. The Shrine remains a place of peace, hope and communion with God and nature. It has been an inspiration and channel of God’s grace for over a century. May it be the same for another century and beyond.With that in mind, we asked our employees and social media followers for their favorite St. Anthony stories. We received dozens and dozens of responses; we wish we had room to share them all, but are excited to share at least some of them with you here! After all, we had tasked him for generations with intentions great and small, and never once had he failed to intercede.
