Saint Antoninus (1389-1459) was a Dominican friar was known for his evangelical zeal, holiness, the desire to live the Dominican life with integrity, the desire to attend to the poor, the reconciliation of sinners, and harmonious workings of society, both political and economic. He is the author of several books, including his own Summa theologica. His liturgical memorial is observed today even though on the Roman Maryrology the observance is noted for May 2.<\/font><\/p>\n

From the Vita<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

He
\nrequired of himself the most unflinching observance of the Rule of his Order,
\nand never ate meat unless he were grievously ill. He slept upon the ground or
\nupon bare boards. He always wore haircloth, and sometimes an iron girdle which
\nbit into his naked skin. His virginity he kept ever undimmed by the last breath
\nor shadow. He was so skillful in giving advice that he gained the common
\nnickname of Antoninus the Counselor. At the same time so beautifully brilliant
\nwas his lowliness, that even when he was at the head of houses and provinces of
\nhis Order, he most cheerfully underook all the meanest services of the house
\nwhere he was. Eugenius IV appointed him Archbishop of Florence, and he took it
\nso ill, that it was only when awed by the threats of the Apostolic See that he
\nobeyed, and accepted the dignity.<\/span><\/p>\n
