St. Anthony the Abbot Comments
Two Greek philosophers ventured out into the Egyptian desert to the mountain where Anthony lived. When they got there, Anthony asked them why they had come to talk to such a foolish man? He had reason to say that -- they saw before them a man who wore a skin, who refused to bathe, who lived on bread and water.

silence, prayer and meditation
to hear the Lord direction
toward life's work.
Pray for us
Dear St. Antony, You revealed to us what real faith is; more so it is like the river that flows out from the 'Tree of Life'. First it is 'ankle deep'; then 'knee deep' and finally it engulfs the whole person! Please pray for me to be perseverent in faith unlike the weed that flutters according to the wind.
Dear St. Anthony by your great piety and devotion to God you have taught us many spiritual insights especially to give up all the vain riches of this earth and to look for heavenly treasures in God alone can we find it. Dear St. Anthony please pray for us....
St. Anthony the Abbotp pray for us to god to help us in our dark hours AMEN
St. Anthony, just as you were tempted by the devil we too are tempted. Please intercede for me in prayer for my friend, Anthony. He suffers from anxiety, depression, and carnal desires. Please join me in prayer that he will resist the devil and like you rely on Jesus' name to rid himself of strongholds. I pray for his safety and protection. Please pray for me as well that I will never lose my faith and that I will always rely on my Lord's strength.
Saint Anthony, you spoke of the importance of persevering in our faith and our practice. Help us to wake up each day with new zeal for the Christian life and a desire to take the next challenge instead of just sitting still. Amen
I HAVE BEEN READING THE LIFE OF DIFFERENT SAINTS HONORED TO THEM EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, BUT I AM DEEPLY BLESSED IN KNOWING THE LIFE OF ST. ANTHONY THE ABBOT, I SHALL STRIVE TO PERSERVE IN MY FAITH AND PRAY THAT ST. ANTHONY BLESS AND PRAY FOR ME IN MY PERSEVERANCE. THANK YOU
Dear St. Anthony the Abbot, blessed am I to read about your saintly life of heroic virtue. Pray for all Catholics. Should we suffer boredom, teach us a way to overcome it like you did by weaving palms, for example. As the saying goes "An idle mind is the devil's workshop". God provided for all your needs and saw your battles against the evil one. I believe our loving God is always near to protect us against our enemies, the works and pomp of the devil.
Today on your feast day, stay at my mother's side and give her divine comfort, consolation. Also, grant healing, and a permanent cure to all children born with fragile X. Free them dear Saint of all developmental delays, epileptic seizures, speech delays, learning disorders and poor behaviour. Grant that my grandson be accepted into the Healing programme that he's waiting for.
Help me to be prayerful always, to be focused on our Divine Master. Come to my assistance when I have doubts, obsessions, scrupulosity, fears and suspicions. Dear saint, what a marvelous life of self denial you led. Though you sought obscurity, many came to you for spiritual guidance. As you have helped them, help me now too. Amen
