We don’t bring our loved ones back to the Church. It is God who draws them back. Then they, with their free will, respond to God’s grace.

Saint Story: Blessed Anthony Neyrot (18:13)

Anthony Neyrot was born in 1425 in Piedmont, Italy. When he grew up, he entered the Dominican Order. While traveling on a ship, he was captured by Moorish pirates. Out of fear, he denounced the Faith, became a Muslim, and married a Muslim woman.

Only a few months after this, Anthony repented and put back on his Dominican habit. He began teaching the message of the Gospel. Not long after, he was imprisoned and stoned to death. He died in 1460.
