of the Eternal King Jesus Christ before the Resurrection and after it, by a singular mystery. Because of all these things you are greatly bound to praise and bless God, Who has given you so many and such great gifts, more than to other creatures." At these and similar words the fish began to open their mouths and bowed their heads, and with these and other signs of reverence, according to what was possible to them, they praised God. Then Saint Anthony, seeing the great reverence of the fish toward God the Creator, rejoicing in spirit, cried out in a loud voice: "Blessed be the Eternal God, because aquatic fish honor God more than heretic humans, and unreasoning animals hear His word better than unbelieving people!"

And then Saint Anthony stayed for many days in Rimini, preaching and producing great spiritual fruit of souls.
To the praise of Jesus Christ
and the little poor man Francis.
Amen.
