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 6, Saint of miracles
Thank you for joining in for the sixth 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, the saint of miracles. Fr. Mario reminds us that saints do not perform miracles, but they are intimately connected to God, and St. Anthony is next to Our Father, constantly pulling at God’s sleeve asking Him peace and good for people who need help.
