Today is the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua!
Two months ago, I had the honor of spending time in San Antonio, TX, and enjoyed seeing some beautiful scenery, some of which included this image of the patron saint of the city, Saint Anthony.
It also happens to be my nephew's birthday! He turned 1 today. How sweet is Thomas as he goes down the slide during his birthday party last weekend?!
I love the way he claps when he is happy/proud of something he's done! What a sweetheart!!
From El Santuario De Chimayo's Facebook page: June
13 marks the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua, one of St. Francis' early
followers and an exceptionally effective preacher. His ability to make
Jesus come so alive for his listeners when Anthony preached on the
Scriptures led to his usual portrayal holding the Christ Child on a book
(the Bible).
Happy Feast Day to all those named Anthony, those
members of parishes or missions named after St. Anthony and all those
with a special devotion to this much-beloved saint!
P.S.- - - In case you haven't read it yet...here is a
