Anthony's wealthy family wanted him to be a great nobleman, but for the sake of Christ he became a poor Franciscan. Priest. He joined the Friars Minor and wanted to go to Morocco to evangelize but was shipwrecked at Sicily. He then joined some other brothers who were going to the church in Portiuncula. Lived in a cave at San Paolo leaving only to attend Mass and sweep the nearby monastery. One day when a scheduled speaker failed to appear, the brothers pressed him into speaking. He impressed them so that he was thereafter constantly travelling, evangelizing, preaching, and teaching theology through Italy and France. He was a gifted speaker and he attracted crowds everywhere he went, speaking in multiple tongues.
