Where did you find this? Well I have written two comments and erased them...there isn't much you can say without being sarcastic:) Not there yet, but there is lots of hope.
what's this 'in a past life' stuff mate...fairly sure you are a saint in this life...though not officially canonized as yet...maybe your mother has something else to say on the topic
plus there's the minor issue with whole reincarnation thing...
Also known as - Evangelical Doctor Memorial: 13 June Profile: Anthony's wealthy family wanted him to be a great nobleman, but for the sake of Christ he became a poor Franciscan. Priest.
When the remains of Saint Berard and his companions, the first Franciscan martyrs, were brought to be buried in his church, Anthony was moved to leave his order, enter the Friars Minor, and go to Morocco to evangelize. Shipwrecked at Sicily, he joined some other brothers who were going to Portiuncula. Lived in a cave at San Paolo leaving only to attend Mass and sweep the nearby monastery. One day when a scheduled speaker failed to appear, the brothers pressed him into speaking. He impressed them so that he was thereafter constantly travelling, evangelizing, preaching, and teaching theology through Italy and France.
A gifted speaker, he attracted crowds everywhere he went, speaking in multiple tongues; legend says that even the fish loved to listen. Wonder worker. One of the most beloved of saints, his images and statues are found everywhere. Proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946.
Born: 1195 at Lisbon, Portugal Died: 13 June 1231 Canonized: 30 May 1232 by Pope Gregory IX at Spoleto, Italy
nothing like promoting yourself for sainthood in order to get responses! thanks for the vote of confidence mum, and my personal history thea... :) will discuss the theology of reincarnation at a later point.
Today I learned in Chapel (from some Catholic/Amish looking guy from Chicago...if there really is such a thing) that you pray to St. Anthony when you are looking for someone/something.
