The Miracle Worker

Miracle-Worker is the usual word that describes St. Anthony. This appellation was not just a posthumous honor given to him by his devotees when he was canonized in 1232, just less than a year after he died, but a real recognition of his spiritual powers even while he lived and preached God's Word among the people. As the apostles and prophets performed signs and wonders in biblical times, so too did St. Anthony during his lifetime which came as a result of his great love for God and the profound compassion he had toward the poor and suffering.

St. Anthony taught us by word and example that love is truly capable of doing great feats just to obtain whatever love desires.
