Then St. Francis told St. Anthony his mission would be to preach the Word of God throughout Italy, and France. Healings, Eucharistic miracles, etc. from him caused him to be known as the Wonder Worker. St. Francis charged St. Anthony to teach theology to the friars. Thus he eventually became a Doctor of the Church. Died in 1231 in Padua. Canonized 11 months later, the saint with the record of being canonized in the shortest amount of time. He is now a powerful intercessor... fades to chant...

we do not all have the same role, nor do we all receive the same gifts - in the mystical body of Christ. St. Anthony of Padua was born in 1195 in Lisbon Portugal. (There he's called St. Anthony of Lisbon). He joined the Augustinian order, but transferred to the Franciscan order. Met St. Francis in 1221 in Asissi. St. Anthony was a priest, so he celebrated Mass, and cleaned and cooked in the friary. St. Anthony was not known for preaching, but out of obedience he had to preach, and did well.
