St Anthony of Padua.
"Almighty ever-living God, who gave Saint Anthony of Padua to your people as an outstanding preacher and an intercessor in their need, grant that, with his assistance, as we follow the teachings of the Christian life, we may know your help in every trial. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen." Today is the feast of the Portuguese Franciscan, St Anthony of Padua. Given the moniker, 'Hammer of Heretics', this 13th-century friar was a great preacher, thus he is often shown holding Christ, the incarnate Word. He is a Doctor of the Church.
