The Tongue That Did Not Decay
The Saint Everyone Calls Upon, But How Many Truly Know Him? You have pressed the prayer card. You have whispered the Tuesday novena. You have asked him to find what was lost, keys, hope, a wandering child, a peace you cannot name. And he has answered. But behind every answered prayer stands a man of thunderous intellect, volcanic charity, and a holiness so complete that when his body returned to dust, his tongue did not decay.
Read the full description
The Tongue That Did Not Decay invites you past the prayer card and into the living heart of Doctor Anthony himself. This devotional companion from the BrickHut Sanctuary, Sacred Lives series opens Anthony's own Sermones to modern readers for the first time in an accessible, spiritually nourishing form. Here is the friar formed in Lisbon and Coimbra, the Augustinian canon who surrendered everything for a Franciscan martyr's dream, the preacher who silenced heretics and moved entire cities to tears, and the Doctor Evangelicus whose teaching the Church declared eternal. Eight centuries have not dimmed him. They have only confirmed him.
