We believe in a God who personally communicates with us as individuals and as a community of believers.  A God who calls us to do His will, to build up THE Kingdom.

St. Anthony Abbot heard God’s call.  “While listening to the Gospel reading in church, Anthony was struck by Jesus’ invitation to the rich young man: ‘Go sell what you possess and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven.’ "

 

That scripture resonated deeply in Anthony's heart and he was convinced - they were for him personally.  He was eighteen, his parents had recently died and left him their estate.                   

Anthony responded to the call, sold all his possessions; withdrew to the solitude of the desert and spent the rest of his life living as a hermit.   "If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts." 

One of the biggest challenges we face is making time for silence and solitude in our lives, the time we need so we can hear God's voice.

If we ask Jesus to guide us and to be with us, He will.  Listen to Him, Harden not your hearts and TRUST in the Lord!

May God Be Praised!
