Worksheet No. 4

Directions: Answer the following questions: Students submit your work on Sunday.  

Assignment/Agreement          
1. What struck you about the life and works of St. Anthony of Padua?
Answer:
The story of Anthony “preaching to the fish,“ originated in Rimini, where he had gone to preach.
When heretics there treated him with contempt, Anthony was said to have gone to the shoreline, where he began
to preach at the water’s edge until a great crowd of fish was seen gathered before him. The people of the town
flocked to see this marvel, after which Anthony charged them with the fact that the fish were more receptive to
his message than the heretics of the church, at which point the people were moved to listen to his message.[8]
In another oft-told story, which took place in Toulouse, Anthony was challenged to prove the reality of the
presence of Christ in the Eucharist by a heretic. The man, who sought to mock Anthony by show, brought out a
half-starved mule and showed it fresh fodder on one hand, and the sacramental host on the other. The mule was
said to have ignored the fodder and instead of eating either, bowed before the sacrament.[8]
Another account tells of an occasion in Italy when Anthony was dining with heretics. He realized the food they
put before him was poisoned, and he confronted them. The men admitted to attempting to kill him, but then
challenged him to eat if he truly believed the words spoken in Mark 16:18 about the apostles of Christ: "...and if
they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them." Anthony is said to have blessed the food, eaten it, and
suffered no harm, much to the amazement of his hosts

2. Cite one learning from the life and works of St. Anthony of Padua which relates to your
personal life?

Answer :

St. Anthony of Padua, one of the Catholic Church’s most loved saints, was a holy man in the
true sense of the word. Preaching the Gospel – not only with his words but with his whole life, he
became so famous that during his last and most famous Lenten sermons, many people came to hear
him speak.

People loved him back then just as much as they love him today. And it is my hope that after
reading his beautiful words and getting infused in his light and holiness, your heart will open a little
bit more – to Love, to Truth, and to all that is Pure and Holy.

When I was a child, I’ve been told plenty of times that everyone should know how to be humble. I began asking
myself, “What does humility mean?” According to The Chamber’s Dictionary, humility means, “the state or
quality of being humble; lowliness of mind; modesty.” After researching the word humility, I began noticing
others who express humility in everyday life. Such as someone allowing another person who is in a hurry cut the
line in front of them at the grocery store so they can get to where they need to be faster. Someone helping a
person whose car broke down by the side of the road. These little acts show great amounts of humility every day.
Showing humility in our lives is important because you are being generous, respectful to yourself and others
around you, and being selfless.

Generosity takes huge role in humility. Generosity is when you give a helping hand to others when they need it.
Such as giving a homeless person some food or change. Donating your possessions to others because they need
it more than you do. Offering help to the elderly when they cannot do something. When being generous towards
others, the people you help take notice of how much you help others and begin to praise you. However, when
you’re being humble, you cannot boast about your achievements to others. According to Everett L. Worthington,
being prideful of your actions and yourself is not being humble.

Being respectful to yourself and others means you must understand that you’re not overly important in your
eyes. Humility is not arrogance. Arrogance is “exaggerating or disposed to exaggerate one's own worth or
importance often by an overbearing manner” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). You cannot exploit how skilled
you are at a certain subject and degrade others who aren’t as skilled. You must understand that others are skilled
at other subjects that you are most likely aren’t as skilled in.
