MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM FR. MARIO!

Fr. Mario Conte, editor of the «Messenger of Saint Anthony» magazine, sends his warmest wishes to all of St. Anthony's devotees from a very special location: the Friary of the Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua.

Christmas itself was created by a gift. “God so loved the world that he gave us his only son.” (John 3:16). Though Christ came among us weak and empty-handed, he brought his priceless and everlasting gifts.

This Christmas let us open our hearts and remember that Jesus is the best gift anyone could ever receive.
