Someone may ask how the Virgin gave birth to the Savior. She begot Him as a blossom emanates perfume. The blossom of the vine remains incorrupt after it has given off its perfume, and so likewise, faith leads us to believe that the modesty of the Virgin—the modesty with which She gave birth to the Savior—was not violated.
--words of Saint Anthony of Padua
Saint Anthony, pray for us.
Saint Anthony is most amazing! He is one of my dearest patrons and he has always helped me in many ways. I hope that one day I will see him and thank him in person.
