After 1195 A.D.
In Tuscany, Italy, there was a noble and wealthy knight who had a short temper and easily gave way to outbursts of anger. One day, his wife provoked his short temper, and he was overcome with rage. He beat her, dragged her throughout the house by her hair, and then stabbed her, leaving her on the brink of death. Shortly after, the knight began to regret what he had done, and he ran to Father (now Saint) Anthony, who was living in the Tuscany at the time. The man begged Father Anthony fervently to help save his wife. Father Anthony and the knight rushed back to the house, and Anthony knelt down, asking God to give the dying woman life and health. After Anthony had prayed over her, she arose and was well again.
