“Tony, Tony look around…”
Our next stop meets up with our dear friends, Steve and Debby in Cody, Wyoming. They have a borrowed class A RV and join us for a couple weeks. Hole of Buffalo Bill Cody, Cody Wyoming is also home of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church where we attended Mass. Nice little Catholic Church in this historic town.
Very cool Divine Mercy image.
Relic is St. Faustina
Hidden in a beautiful little grotto, nestled within some pine trees – look who we found! Our Lady welcomed us warmly.
St. Anthony of Padua is one of the Catholic Church’s most popular saints. Saint Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost and stolen articles, was a powerful Franciscan preacher and teacher. He’s typically portrayed holding the child Jesus—or a lily—or a book—or all three—in his arms. Many people give alms to St. Anthony Bread in thanksgiving to God for blessings received through the prayers of St. Anthony.
St. Anthony of Padua’s life is what every Christian’s life is meant to be; a steady courage to face the ups and downs of life, the call to love and forgive, to be concerned for the needs of others, to deal with crisis great and small, and to have our feet solidly on the ground of total trusting love and dependence on God.
