In the final year of his life, St. Anthony of Padua, a famous Franciscan saint, known for his preaching, went to a small Italian village near Padua. There he asked his brother friars to build a tree house for him in a walnut tree. There he spent his days in deep prayer and contemplation. People still sought him out, for spiritual guidance, or a good word.
From my vantage point as a married man and a Secular Franciscan, I hope to share with you my thoughts, and opinions.
