Saint Anthony Mary

Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria is not simply the memory of a saint who lived long ago. Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria is very much alive in the charism of the Barnabite Fathers and Brothers and in the many people who are devoted to honoring this special saint. Hopefully St. Anthony M. Zaccaria is a saint that can be better known. His writings are wealth of spiritual truth and realism that are as alive & relevant now as in the days when this great & holy man lived. I would like to also add, If I may, that his memory is also cherished among the Angelic Sisters of Saint Paul!

The Anthony Alive link on the right side of the blog and the Barnabite Fathers link are excellent sources for the spirituality and writings of St. Anthony Zaccaria. While the study of the writings is proper to the novitiate perhaps some reading together and commentary on the Writings or spiritual themes might be a nice project for the new year. What do you all think?

Yes, Father Peter, I would be open to reading and discussing some of the writings of Saint Anthony Mary. Many thanks for your suggestion!
