Download or read book Rich Young Man written by John E. Beahn and published by Tan Legends. This book was released on 2013-09-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Anthony of Padua has been a friend to millions of Catholics asking his help to recover lost objects. But few seem to know much about his remarkable life. The son of a knight in the court of Portugal's king, he renounced his heritage of wealth and power to become a Franciscan priest. In the years to come, he earned international fame as a preacher, reformer, miracle worker, champion of the poor, and Doctor of the Church. A generation ago, the American Catholic novelist John Edward Beahn presented Anthony's life and legends in a biographical novel, A Rich Young Man: A Novel Based on the Life of St. Anthony of Padua, published in 1953. This imaginative re-telling of the saint s story, based on historical records and traditions, now comes to life again in the TAN Legend series of biographical fiction. The tale unfolds in the epic setting of medieval Europe of the thirteenth century. Monarchs, courtiers, churchmen, knights, nobles and serfs maneuver like chess pieces in an elaborate game of alliances and conflicts between Church and state, Christian and Muslim, Catholic and heretic. Anthony's story takes us from North Africa where divine providence saved the young friar from his mistaken zeal for martyrdom to Italy and France, where his extraordinary gifts and heroic passion for God blazed a path to the rescue and conversion of countless souls. This TAN Legend edition of A Rich Young Man: A Novel Based on the Life of St. Anthony of Padua paints a rich, fascinating portrait of an astonishing saint who turned the medieval Christian world upside down.

Download or read book Life of St Anthony of Egypt written by St Athanasius of Alexandria and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-27 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biographic text of St. Anthony is presented complete in this edition for the reader's absorption and contemplation. First published in the 4th century A.D., Anthony the Great's biography was authored by Christian Saint Athanasius of Alexandria. Since its release, the book has helped spread the beliefs, practices and arduous faith of Anthony the Great. A significant progenitor of the monastic tradition, Saint Anthony lived an ascetic lifestyle in the arid lands of Egypt. Although not the earliest of religious figures committed to this tradition, through actions and preaching Anthony helped popularise and spread principles that would contribute heavily to the establishment of Christian monasteries in Europe and beyond. One event in St. Anthony's life was his encounter with the supernatural in the remote Egyptian desert. This occurrence, where the otherworldly presence tried to tempt him from his spartan philosophy of living, is much recreated in Western art and literature.

Download or read book A Rich Young Man written by John E Beahn and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partly fictional, but nonetheless realistic is this fascinating new story about St. Anthony of Padua, based on the colorful history and traditions that have perpetuated his memory.Here the pageantry of Medieval Europe in the era of Saracen invasions, of clashes between monarch and Church, heresy, knighthood, and serfdom forms a romantic background for the life of a proud young Portuguese nobleman who renounced his rightful heritage of wealth and power to become a humble Franciscan friar. With imaginative force and skill, the author portrays a vital, human St. Anthony, dedicated to the fulfillment of his priesthood, gifted as preacher, heroic as a man, important as a saint much more for the example of his life than for his influence in restoring lost articles. The book follows the youthful Friar Antonio to Africa in his mistaken zeal for martyrdom and then to Italy where he is destined to perform his greatest work and to attain fame as a preacher. At Rimini, center of a heresy against the doctrine of the True Presence, Antonio scores his first victory over the heretic leader Bononillo by accepting a taunting challenge that results in the miraculous conversion of the whole populace.Accompanied by Ruggiero, the towering lay Brother who remains his loyal companion throughout the story, Antonio meets with further success in other parts of Italy and in France. The miracles he performs, the throngs he converts, the ordeals he faces both as a man and a priest, the struggles he encounters in trying to preserve the true spirit of Franciscanism after the death of its founder, and the joys he experiences in doing the will of God-these are some of the episodes that make "A Rich Young Man" a book of sustained interest and high inspiration.

Download or read book The Seraphic Order written by Fr Marion A Habig and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 1026 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the followers of St. Francis there were saints and teachers who were endowed by God with a natural and supernatural kinship with their holy founder. They developed the Franciscan spirituality which had its origin in the simple practical life and the rules of St. Francis; and they gave further, clearer expression to it both by their lives and their writings. Thus they pointed out the characteristic traits of Franciscan spirituality, both in a practical and a theoretical way. Concerning the distinctive features of Franciscan spirituality, as contained in the Franciscan tradition, suffice it to say that its essence is doctrinal Christocentrism and practical imitation of Christ, conformity with Christ, prompted by love. Distinctive aspects of Franciscan piety are childlike love of God, our Father, devotion to the Humanity of Christ, His Sacred Heart, the Holy Eucharist, the mysteries of the Nativity and the Passion, His Virgin Mother Mary, and reverence for the Catholic priesthood. Franciscan love of God finds expression also in charity to our fellowmen, understanding them as our brothers, especially in aid to the poor and sick and in apostolic zeal for souls, Christian and pagan. Total poverty detaches the Franciscan soul from creatures, but at the same time it recognizes God in created things and uses the latter to mount to God. Emphasis is placed on the will, and hence on love and action above speculation. The atmosphere in which the Franciscan spirit develops is one of individual freedom of the spirit, absence of coercive and confining methods, love of enterprise, and a sense of realism. On the path of this traditional Franciscan way of life many have attained sainthood. Thus, The Seraphic Order, which recounts their lives and virtues, can well serve as a practical textbook of Franciscan spirituality.
