He is one of the great saints of the Catholic Church, and one of the beloved--even far beyond Catholics themselves. Untold numbers of people turn to him, still, when there is loss.

Reflections On St. Anthony – Day 10, Life Counselor
Thank you for joining in for the tenth of 13 days of reflections in preparation for the Feast of St. Anthony, filmed on location at the Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua, Italy. Today’s theme is St. Anthony, life counselor. According to St. Anthony’s biographers, even though he was a very learned person, he was so good at preaching that even children could understand him. He was the perfect counselor. His advice was always insightful, scripture based, unique, and practical.
