SUMMARY:Saint Antônio de Sant’Anna Galvão

Invested in 1760\, he made final profession the following year and was ordained in 1762. \nIn São Paulo\, he served as preacher\, confessor\, and porter. Within a few years\, he was appointed confessor to the Recollects of Saint Teresa\, a group of nuns in that city. He and Sister Helena Maria of the Holy Spirit founded a new community of sisters under the patronage of Our Lady of the Conception of Divine Providence. Sister Helena Maria’s premature death the next year left Father Antônio responsible for the new congregation\, especially for building a convent and church adequate for their growing numbers. \nHe served as novice master for the friars in Macacu and as guardian of St. Francis Friary in São Paulo. He founded St. Clare Friary in Sorocaba. With the permission of his provincial and the bishop\, he spent his last days at the Recolhimento de Nossa Senhora da Luz\, the convent of the sisters’ congregation he had helped establish. \nHe was beatified in Rome on October 25\, 1998\, and canonized in 2007. \n\nReflection\nHoly women and men cannot help calling our attention to God\, to God’s creation and to all the people whom God loves. The lives of holy people are so oriented toward God that this has become their definition of “normal.” Do people see my life or yours as a living sign of God’s steadfast love? What might have to change for that to happen?
