Saint Anthony Claret

He did a little of everything. He was a weaver, an itinerant preacher, an editor, a writer, bishop, defender of natives in Cuba, fighter against injustice and slavery, founder of a Congregation, confessor of the Queen of Spain, and participant in an ecumenical Council. Anthony Claret, a small and restless man, reached many corners of the earth with the Word. And he continues to do it through his sons, the Claretian Missionaries.

Your turn:

  • Do you sometimes feel that there are many different things you would like to do?
  • What do you think God is asking of you at this time?

Prayer

Lord Jesus, use my energy and my restlessness to go wherever you need a pair of hands and a fire to spread your Word. Give me the passion for your people that animated Anthony. Amen.
