"Christians must lean on the Cross of Christ
just as travelers lean on a staff when they begin a long journey. They must have
the Passion of Christ deeply embedded in their minds and hearts, because only
from it can they derive peace, grace, and truth." ~ St
Anthony
St Anthony,
ora pro nobis!
Pope
Pius XII named St. Anthony a Doctor of the Universal Church, that is, one of the
great Christian teachers of all time—and a renowned preacher of God’s word. In
fact, Anthony was such a famous preacher that in 1228—at age 33—he was invited
to preach before Pope Gregory IX. Afterwards, the pope called Anthony the
“Ark of the
Testament.” Anthony revealed such a grasp of God’s word that, in the eyes of the
pope, he
seemed to “contain” within himself the whole of Sacred
Scripture.

Have you
invited someone to Holy Mass yet this month
- where hunger
and thirst is satisfied?
In this month
dedicated to the Sacred Heart it is fitting indeed!
