Contenuto
St. Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) is one of the most popular saints of Christendom, renowned for his miracles and his concern for the poor. It is less well known that he was the first great theologian and teacher of the early Franciscan Order. Commissioned by Francis himself to teach theology to the friars, he fulfilled this task by composing his Opus Evangeliorum, a set of Commentaries on the Sunday Gospels. This fourth and final volume contains the Saint’s unfinished work on the Festivals of the Church. He began it in the Autumn of 1230 at the request of Cardinal Rinaldo, later Pope Alexander IV. It was interrupted by the great Lenten Mission to Padua in the spring of 1231, and finally interrupted again when Anthony died on June 13. Starting with Christmas, it continues as far as the Apostles Peter and Paul.
Destinatari
All those who venerate Anthony of Padua as a saint, miracle-worker, preacher of the Gospel and heavenly intercessor.

St. Anthony of Padua is one of the most popular saints of Christendom, renowned for his miracles and his concern for the poor. It is less well known that he was the first great theologian and teacher of the early Franciscan Order. Commissioned by Francis himself to teach theology to the friars, he fulfilled this task by composing his Opus Evangeliorum, a set of Commentaries on the Sunday Gospels. Beginning this work while superior at Limoges, he completed it at Padua. A little later, he undertook a second set on the Festivals and other important days, such as Ash Wednesday. This work was barely half finished at his death. Both these works are now for the first time translated in their entirety into English from the Critical Edition of the Latin text published by the Centro Studi Antoniani at Padua in 1976. The present volume comprehends the General Prologue and Sundays from Septuagesima to Pentecost. The translation, introductory material and notes for this edition are by P. Spilsbury.

Introduction, traduction et notes par Valentin Strapazzon, ofm conv
Il presente è un volume antologico che raccoglie una selezione delle più significative affermazioni e riflessioni di sant'Antonio, contenute nei Sermoni, riguardano fiori, piante, animali e credenze popolari medievali collegate a quelle creature. Nelle sue omelie Antonio, partendo dalla singola pianta o dal singolo animale, fa trarre ai suoi uditori ' e oggi ai lettori - un insegnamento spirituale: eleva le coscienze verso la bellezza e la sublimità della dottrina e della morale, ammonendo e mettendo in guardia da false interpretazioni, ma soprattutto portando e spronando ognuno alla contemplazione e all'adorazione del Mistero divino.
Destinatari
Devoti e amici del Santo. Ma anche per conoscere quali fossero le più diffuse credenze popolari medievali riferite a piante o animali.
Autore
Sant'Antonio di Padova, grande intercessore e operatore di miracoli, è annoverato tra i Dottori della chiesa. Fu teologo, ma allo stesso tempo protagonista del suo tempo e profondo conoscitore della realtà in tutti i suoi aspetti. La presente selezione è stata curata da padre Giordano Tollardo, frate minore conventuale, che dei Sermoni ha effettuato anche la traduzione.
Un pensiero al giorno, poche righe, ma intonate alla ricorrenza liturgica del calendario: sono l'invito di Antonio a orientare tutta la vita verso il Bene sommo che e Dio.
