antonio2The Creator of the heavens obeys a carpenter; the God of eternal glory listens to a poor virgin. Has anyone ever witnessed anything comparable to this? Has any ear heard anything like this? Let the philosopher no longer disdain from listening to the common labourer, the wise man to a simple one, the educated to the illiterate, a son of a prince to a peasant.
Saint Anthony of Padua
