BL. ANTHONY OF AMANDALA

BL. ANTHONY OF AMANDALA - 25 JANUARY

BLESSED ANTHONY OF AMANDALA, PRIEST AND RELIGIOUS

Anthony (Antonio, Antonius) Migliorati was born into a farmer's family on January 17, 1355.

Inspired by the example of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, he became an Augustinian, was ordained priest and lived for about 12 years in the convent of Tolentino, then for some time in Bari. At the beginning of the 15th century he returned to Amandola.

Here he was chosen to be the superior of this small convent, which he expanded. Next to it he started the construction of a new church. However, his death on January 25, 1450 meant that he did not live to see the building completed.

The veneration bestowed during his lifetime for his humility, his obedience and mortification, and his extraordinary apostolic zeal did not end with his death. The faithful flocked to his grave; numerous miracles occurred following his intercession. On July 11, 1759, Pope Clement XIII declared him blessed, and on April 20, 1890 Pope Leo XIII pronounced a plenary indulgence to all visitors to his shrine. The Augustinians celebrate his feast day on January 29.

The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady.

ST JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS - 13 AUGUST

ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August WELCOME! SAINT JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS (Patron Saint of Altar Servers.) The eldest boy of a poor cordwainer, in a small Belgian town, John was ever a dutiful, prayerful, and studious child. Our Lord called him when but young to leave his father and his father’s house, to serve Him in the Society of Jesus. And because he was so good a son, it cost his father much to give him up to God; but he was too good a Christian to refuse outright. HE WAS SENT TO ROME John had hardly taken his religious vows when he was sent to the centre of Christendom, the holy city of Rome. His modesty, his purity, shone out as great virtue always does; and the young laymen who attended the lectures would come to gaze upon his beautiful and holy face, and go away the better for the sight. GREAT VIRTUE Three short years, and his last sickness found him sighing for heaven, and three days before the great feast of Mar...
