Oil Dedicated to Blessed Anthony Bonfadini

Blessed Anthony Bonfadini, a Franciscan priest of the 15th century, lived a life shaped by humility, missionary zeal, and a longing to spread the peace of Christ. Born in Forlì, Italy, he entered the Franciscan Order where his heart was set aflame by the Gospel. Known for his gentle spirit and persuasive preaching, Anthony traveled across Italy and Eastern Europe, tirelessly proclaiming the message of repentance, peace, and reconciliation.

In an age torn by wars and conflicts, Anthony Bonfadini served as a humble instrument of peace. His words carried a divine grace that moved hearts to forgiveness and conversion. He often traveled barefoot, relying solely on God’s providence, reflecting the poverty and simplicity of St. Francis of Assisi. Wherever he preached, communities were renewed in faith, and quarrels were settled through his encouragement of Christian charity.

Anthony’s holiness was not confined to his words but shone through his compassionate actions, his love for the poor, and his tireless efforts to heal divisions among people. After his death in 1482, his body remained incorrupt, a visible sign of his pure and holy life. To this day, his incorrupt remains invite pilgrims to reflect on the lasting fruits of a life surrendered to God’s will.

Our Irish Blessing Oil dedicated to Blessed Anthony Bonfadini is prayerfully prepared in remembrance of his life of humble service and peace-making. Each bottle is accompanied by a prayer card asking for his intercession— in broken relationships, for peace in troubled hearts, and for the courage to be peacemakers in our families and communities.

Lovingly prayed over by the team at A Blessed Call to Love. Offer a spiritual support for those seeking to live in harmony with God and neighbor. May it inspire a renewed desire for reconciliation, kindness, and faithful evangelization.

May the example of Blessed Anthony Bonfadini remind you that even in a divided world, one humble voice can call hearts back to peace—and that God uses the simple, the poor, and the willing to spread His love across the earth.
