Quote/s of the Day – 5 July – St Anthony Mary Zaccaria (1502-1539) Confessor, Priest, Founder of the Barnabits – The First Religious Order Named after St Paul The Apostle – Canonised by Pope Leo XIII on 27 May 1897.
“Angel in human form! Angelic man!
Founder of the Clerics Regular of St Paul,
of the Angelic Sisters and of other pious Associations.
Destroyer of vices, Guardian of chastity,
Restorer of the service of God.
Perfect labourer for the salvation of souls,
Preacher of the Word of God,
Faithful disciple of St Paul.
Indefatigable worker in the Vineyard of the Lord,
constant enemy of the world,
of the flesh and of wickedness.
Conqueror of Demons.
Perfect image of the ardent charity of the Holy Ghost.
Today, a citizen of Heaven.
The City of Cremona, rejoicing
and proud of the glory of its children,
filled with admiration for its citizen
now gone to join the Angels,
erects this Monument in token of eternal gratitude
for his saintly life and heroic deeds. Amen!”
Inscription on a Monument in Cremona, Italy
dedicated to Saint Anthony
