A short, popular biography of St. Anthony of Padua written by a Franciscan friar.
This 1932 edition is catalogued with illustrations by C. Bosseron Chambers (a well-known Catholic artist).
Chapter titles include “The Franciscan Door,” “The Martyrdom of Failure,” “What the Mountains Whispered,” and “Anthony Among the People,” signalling a devotional, narrative approach to Anthony’s life and virtues.
The book is published by St. Anthony Guild Press, which was the publishing arm of the Franciscan friars associated with St. Anthony’s Guild in New Jersey.
Saint Anthony stands at the centre of that Christ-like thing, the Franciscan ideal. It was the most important force in his life, transforming and intensifying that life, blameless as it was, and directing his every action and impulse from the moment he felt the touch of Francis on his heart until the moment of his birth into eternity.
