He even wrote a book about his life called Scar Tissue. Throughout his life there were ups and downs that shaped him to be who he is today.

Saint Anthony of Padau Saints come from all around the world. Each one is unique in its very own way. But for me, I’ve been focusing on one in particular. The saint I am focusing on is Saint Anthony of Padua. I have chosen Saint Anthony because of two things: what he is the patron saint of.
