Patron Saint of physicians
Canonized by Pope Leo XIII on May 27, 1897
Liturgical Color: White
Quote:
Angel in human form, Angelic man, Founder of the Clerics Regular of St. Paul, of the Angelic Sisters, And of other pious associations. Destroyer of vices, Guardian of chastity, Restorer of the service of God. Perfect laborer for the salvation of souls, Preacher of the Word of God, Faithful disciple of St. Paul, Indefatigable worker in the Vineyard of the Lord, Constant enemy of the world, of the flesh and of wickedness, Conqueror of Demons. Perfect image of the ardent charity of the Holy Ghost. Today a citizen of heaven. The city of Cremona, rejoicing and proud of the glory of its children, filled with admiration for its citizen now gone to join the Angels, erects this monument in token of eternal gratitude for his saintly life and heroic deeds. ~Inscription on a column in Cremona dedicated to Saint Anthony
Prayer:
Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria, from a young age God entered your heart and filled you with a burning love for the poor, sick, imprisoned, and sinner. You worked tirelessly in fulfilling God’s mission to save souls. Please pray for me, that I will have the same zeal that you had so that God can use me to bring His saving message to others. Saint Anthony, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
