My confirmation name is Anthony. On one occasion Anthony was dining with heretics. He realized that food put before him was poisoned. The men admitted to attempting to kill him but challenged him to eat the food if he truly believed the words in Mark 16:18: “They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.” Anthony blessed the food, ate it, and suffered no harm. He said to the men, “Give up?”

St. Anthony is one of my favorite Saints, because I really need his help a lot as I so often misplace things, not only a question of age, I always did 😊! Leave a Reply. |
