Feast of St Anthony
(Monday, 7th June 2005)

This week, Saint Anthony's church will be celebrating the feast of St Anthony of Padova. This feast opens the season of the Summer feasts both in Malta and Gozo. During the past few days, the Franciscan Youths were seen working at odd hours or under a scorching sun in order to settle everything in time!  The main streets are adorned with flags, statues and bulbs.

Disciple of Francis of Assisi, St Anthony wanted to live side by side with the most humble and poor class of society, taking on as his own their sufferings and the contradictions in which the populace groaned, abandoned to the arrogance of the strong, unprotected from the violent. Biographical sources and the chroniclers of the time tell us that Anthony fought courageously to restore each man with his original image and resemblance to God, opening his heart to receive the Gospel of the Kingdom carried by the Saviour.
