Feastday: December 28

Anthony was born about circa 468 at Valeria in Lower Pannonia. When he was eight years old, his father died and he was first entrusted to the care of St. Severinus. After the death of Severinus, an uncle, Bishop Constantius of Lorsch in Bavaria took charge of his upbringing. While in Bavaria, Anthony became a monk. He returned to Italy in 488 and joined the cleric Marius and his companions as a hermit at Lake Como. However, he gained so many disciples that he was forced to flee. Anthony then went to Lerins in Gaul and became a monk there. However, he lived only two years at Lerins before his death, renowned for his miracles and spirituality.

St Anthony the Hermit pray for us, and ALL innocent children who suffer hunger, malnutrition, abuse and neglect, as this is the feast day of the Holy Innocents, who were murdered by King Herod. Send your angels to guard and guide all children who are born with developmental delays. Give them healing and respite, from the torment of seizures, delayed speech and delayed learning. Dear St. Anthony they share your feast day, do something miraculous for these vulnerable children. Amen.

I went to this site to get more information on why he was sainted. This information is not included here! It would be very helpful to know what he did to obtain sainthood!

Dear cjo. I wish you a very holy and Mary Christmas. May God continue to be with you and your loved ones. As a suggestion and not at all wishing to tell you what to do I think Christ has and is trying to teach us to love our neighbor and enemy as He loves us. We must try and respect EVERYONE be he friend or foe. I love you even as I love elise. Let us pray for each other whether they be friends or foes. God and His Sweetest Mother be with you both.
