  • Title: Portrait of Anchieta (Retrato de Anchieta)
    Artist: Oscar Pereira da Silva
    Date: 1920
    Collection: Museu do Ipiranga, Sao Paulo, Brazil

    In this dignified portrait, Brazilian painter Oscar Pereira da Silva presents Saint Joseph of Anchieta (São José de Anchieta in Portuguese) with calm authority and missionary zeal. The saint stands clothed in the simple black cassock of the Society of Jesus, a sign of humility and apostolic dedication. His right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing, while his left hand holds a leather bound liturgical book with brass clasps, symbolising both his priestly office, his scholarly life, and his tireless teaching of the faith.

    The inscription identifies him with titles long associated with his missionary legacy: “Venerable Father Joseph of Anchieta. Apostle of Brazil. Miracle worker of the New World.” Born in the Canary Islands in 1534, Anchieta entered the Jesuits in Portugal and sailed to Brazil at the age of nineteen. There he spent more than four decades preaching the Gospel, serving indigenous peoples and settlers, and helping lay the cultural and spiritual foundations of the young colony, including the establishment of the Jesuit college that gave rise to the city of Sao Paulo.

    Beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1980 during a Mass in Sao Paulo, and canonised by Pope Francis on April 3, 2014, Anchieta stands as a radiant example of missionary holiness.

    Spiritual Reflection

    Saint Joseph of Anchieta reminds the Church that true evangelisation flows not only from words, but from a life visibly rooted in Christ. His missionary work was marked by deep trust in God and a readiness to serve wherever the Gospel called. Writing of his tireless journeys through the wilderness to reach souls, he once reflected:

    “Without letting ourselves be intimidated by calms, storms, rains, foaming and impetuous currents of rivers, we seek without rest to visit all the villages and dwellings both of the Indians and of the Portuguese.” — Saint Joseph of Anchieta

    Scripture echoes this call to living witness:

    “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16
