Synopsis

Born Ferdinand Bouillon in Lisbon in 1195, he joined the Augustinians at age 15, but decided to become a friar after seeing the remains of the first Franciscan martyrs. On doing so, he took the name of Anthony by which he has been known ever since. A renowned theologian and preacher, he is known as the patron saint of lost articles, and is usually depicted holding the Infant Jesus in his arms or on his shouldres. This Little Book of Anthony of Padua captures in simple format the very essence of the Franciscan saint. The quotations gathered here provide a profound insight into his thinking, thus offering the reader food for thought and substance for prayerful reflection.
