Anthony of Padua is a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan order

Anthony of Padua is a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan order. He was born and raised in a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal, and died in Padua, Italy. Known for his powerful preaching, biblical expertise, and undying love and devotion to the poor and sick, his contemporaries were among the fastest to be canonized in church history. He was proclaimed Doctor of the Church on January 16, 1946. He is also the patron saint of lost property. During his seclusion, Saint Anthony’s character and wisdom attracted so many people to seek advice from him that it influenced his solitary life. The crowds who followed Saint Anthony followed his example and also lived alone in caves and huts near the Piesbier Mountains. St. Antoine regularly met and gave guidance for five or six years. Sculptures of Saint Anthony are also very popular today. Have a look at our St Anthony of Padua statue for sale. More saints sculptures are waiting for you to choose from.

St. Anthony’s monastic style influenced subsequent Generations of Christians

St. Anthony’s monastic style influenced subsequent Generations of Christians, especially St. Augustine. In his confessions, St. Augustine describes the shock of seeing St. Anthony’s life (thirty years after his death). St. Augustine said, “We were amazed to hear ourselves. And yet in such recent times, in our union, the signs of your spirit have shown indelible evidence in the pure faith, in the Church.” St. Anthony was not the first monk, but his example helped to promote monastic life, and he is now known as the father of the monastic movement. St. Anthony’s spiritual thoughts focused on dealing with the body and sin, as well as dealing with loneliness. St. Anthony believed that the soul should be preserved by neglecting the body. Therefore, all the time should be devoted to the soul, less care for the body, self-denial. However, dealing with the body alone does not complete the spiritual life. St. Anthony believed that the way to deal with sin was to dwell on your sin and God’s judgment. If you really appreciate the great saint, you can come and see our St Anthony of Padua statue for sale.
