LISTEN | Morning Prayer - January 17, 2023 | Memorial of St. Anthony, Abbot "If you would be perfect, go, self what you have, give to the poor, and follow me, says the Lord." - Mt. 19:21 The Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Anthony, Abbot (251-356) from the 3rd century. St. Anthony, the father of monks, retired to the desert at about the age of eighteen in order to live in perfect solitude. He laid the foundations of community life, and gave to his disciples that profound broad and sane instruction, the mature result of solitude and prayer, which forms the surest basis of Christian asceticism. Join the People of God in offering the universal prayer of the Church through the Office of Lauds.
