Anthony of Padua quotes

The saints are like the stars, who, in His providence, Christ hides under a seal, lest they appear whenever they wish. Instead, they are always ready to disembark from the quiet of contemplation into the works of mercy at the time decided upon by God, whenever their heart should hear the word of command. (Anthony of Padua)
Just as the root feeds the tree, so humility feeds the soul. The spirit of humility is sweeter than honey, and whoever is fed by this sweetness produces fruit. View quote
Anthony of Padua
Solicitude for material things rends the soul; thus distracted, it divides it. The devil seizes the divided soul and thereby kills it. View quote
