St Anthony Padua
“Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak.”
St. Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) is well known as a finder of lost things, but he was also famous in his own time as a great preacher. Because of his tireless and effective work in preaching the truth of the Gospel in a time when people were being led astray by false teachings, he is sometimes called the “Hammer of Heretics.” He also wrote down a series of “sermons”. These are not so much sermons in their own right but rather explanations and concordances of readings for each Sunday – a sort of medieval homily helper – to give assistance to other Franciscan preachers.
They reveal a great depth of knowledge and love of the Scriptures, drawing on both the Old and the New Testaments and using imagery from the natural world.
