Friday – 1st Week in Ordinary Time C – Saint Anthony, Abbot
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as we gather today to celebrate the feast of Saint Anthony, Abbot, we are reminded of his profound commitment to God and his exemplary life of faith. Born in Egypt in the late 3rd century, Anthony is often hailed as the father of monasticism. His life revolved around the search for a deeper relationship with God, and his journey offers us valuable lessons in spiritual resilience, especially in light of today’s readings.
