I once heard the saddest words ever spoken were 'what might have been'. In the case of Saint Anthony, that's true.If he had lived today, his words would have been broadcast around the globe during his too short lifetime--if he had allowed anyone to put him on a stage. He just wasn't like that. He never volunteered or raised his Jane, saying, "Me, me!!". He didn't brag about the life he had before following the instructions Christ left for all of us. That was a different life.But when the priests in charge of the area found out what he could do, life was never the same, not for him or for anyone who heard him. (Please pardon my awkward wording. I'm not Catholic, but I sure do like reading about people who serve the Lord.)As I read the story, I wondered if, given a longer life, he might have become Pope one day. But, he was given the honor of sainthood in a way no one before him had ever achieved. I'll let you read about that.They tell us in Heaven we'll all have work to do. After reading this book I don't think Saint Anthony will be teaching. I think he'll be begging to learn from those who came after him. See if you don't get the same feeling.
