St Anthony

We live in a parish that has a special devotion Mass to St Anthony of Padua, every Tuesday night.

We don't often make this Mass, as Tuesdays are our busy days. Sometimes, however, we turn up, late for the Mass after drama, but in time for the devotional prayers. This is then, more often than not, a "dinner out" night!

Our parish is a Franciscan parish and St Anthony of Padua was a Franciscan. St Anthony was a good speaker and we have many of his sermons available today. Here is a little gem -

"Attribute to God every good that you have received. If you take credit for something that does not belong to you, you will be guilty of theft."

And a website on St Anthony -
