St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria

St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria

Feastday: July 5
Patron of The Barnabite order
1502 - 1539

Cofounder of the Barnabites. Born in 1502 in Cremona, Italy, Anthony became a medical doctor. In 1528 he was ordained a priest and cofounded the Barnabites, the religious congregation so called because it was headquartered in St. Barnabas Monastery in Milan. The Barnabites occupied the monastery in 1538, having been approved in 1533. Anthony popularized the forty-hour prayer ceremony, promoted the use of altar sacraments, and introduced the ringing of church bells on Friday. He is depicted in liturgical art in habit.

    St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria, youthful, energetic, zealous, courageous disciple of Our Lord Jesus, grant us your loving and powerful intercession today, your feast day. In the presence of the Blessed Trinity you enjoy eternal happiness. But look at us who are here on earth, doing our pilgrimage to see God one day face to face. Grant a handsome, healthy, intelligent and God fearing infant to my daughter who is hoping to conceive soon. Give her also the job that she has interviewed for. And dear Saint give her ailing, sick child perfect healing of mind and body. Bless and pray for my 3 children, their spouses and my 5 grandchildren. Keep us faithful to our baptismal vows. May I know that you are praying for us. Amen.
