June 13:




 If your eye causes you to sin Mt 5 27-32
   If we want to live as God would have us live, we must first know and understand God's commands for us. We must then decide in our hearts to obey the Lord.
   Through the gift and working of the Holy Spirit, the Lord writes his law on our hearts. He gives us his power to live his way of goodness and holiness.
   St Anthony of Padua is a good example of purity of heart. It was his privilege to hold the Child Jesus in his arms.  
   Do we trust in God’s love and allow his Holy Spirit to fill us with a thirst for holiness in every area of your lives?
  
Father, purify our thoughts, desires, and intentions that we may only desire what is pleasing to you and in accord with your will, through Christ our Lord.            

Happy Feast to you all!    N.

St. Anthony’s help 
to return man’s greatest loss—that of the Most Holy Divine Will.

6/13 – St. Anthony of Padua, Priest, Doctor of the Church

   
St. Anthony of Padua
St. Anthony of PaudaFeast Day June 13th.  He is a Doctor of the Church known for his miracles and being one of the greatest preachers of all times.  He is known as the “Hammer of the Heretics,” “Living Ark of the Covenant,” and “Wonder Worker.”  He is Patron of the Poor.  In art he is depicted holding the Christ Child.  He is widely invoked for the return of lost articles.
It seems no accident that this Saint was placed in charge of and protection of Saint Annibale di Francia’s Orphanages and Religious Institutions.  The Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, the Little Daughter of the Divine Will, also lived 10 years in the Orphanage of St. Anthony in Corato. So St. Anthony is also important to Luisa’s cause because of the necessity of St. Anthony’s help to return man’s greatest loss—that of the Most Holy Divine Will.
