The Useys
Have A Son
By Helen W. Searle
Saint Anthony Maria Zaccaria
Cremona is a rather large north-
eastern Italian city, located about 50
miles southeast of Milan. Cremona
is the home of the fine Cremona vio-
lins, especially those made by the
Arnati family, Antonio Stradivara and
Giuseppe Guarnieri from the 16th
through the 18th centuries. In 150,2,
Cremona was the place of birth of
Anthony Azccaria. During his short
lifetime six popes held office as the
Church and the western world be-
gan to undergo many changes. An-
thony became an early mover of this
Counter-Reformation.
Anthony was eighteen when his
father died, but with the strong spiri-
tual support of his mother, who dedi-
cated her life to his education, he
went on to Padua to study medicine
at the University. He received his
degree in 1524 and opened his
practice in his hometown. Soon he
realized it was of equal importance
to heal souls as welt as bodies. He
began his studies for the priesthood.
In 1528, at the age of twenty-six, he
was ordained. Many reports state
that angels were seen at his first
Mass.
His work brought him to Milan
where he founded two religious or-
ders: the Angelicals of Saint Paul for
women and the Barnabites, congre-
gation of Clerks Regular of Saint
Paul. for men. With the Gospel of
Saint Paul time Apostle as his guide
lines and the personality of Saint
Paul as his inspiration he and his
religious communities continued
their ministry.
Anthony introduced many new
ideas to reinforce and strengthen
the importance of individual spiritual-
ity. He encouraged frequent com-
munion. He introduced the practice
of the Forty Hours Devotion and the
ringing of the church bells on Fri-
days at 3 p,m. as a reminder of
Christ's constant existence in our
lives. He promoted the concept of
the laity working together with the
Church.
Constantly teaching, Anthony
became ill on a m4ssion of peace
and returned to his mother's in Cre-
mona where he died in 1539 at the
early age of thirty-six. He was buried
above ground and for twenty-six
years his body remained incorrupt
He was then buried in damp soil un-
til 1664 when only his skeleton was
found. These bones are encased in
a glass reliquary beneath the rnam
altar of the Church of Saint Barnaba
in Milan. Although some politicians
attempted to exert influence on
Church policy for their own personal
gain, Anthony Zaccaria dedicated
himself to nullifying these efforts. His
feast day is celebrated July 5.
