And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. (John 14:6)

Let us raise our eyes and keep them fixed on Jesus, the author of our redemption. What is more precious than a person’s life? The life of the body is the soul, and the life of the soul is Christ. Your very life hangs from the Cross. Your life hangs before you on the Cross so that you might see yourself as in a mirror, examining and scrutinizing yourself in it. You can see how serious were your wounds that they could not be healed by any other medicine except by the blood of the Son of God. If you pause to reflect profoundly, you will realize how sublime your dignity, and how excellent your worth, which demanded so high a price.

-St. Anthony, Sermon for the Feast of the Finding of the Cross

Let Us Pray...

O good St. Anthony, Healer of Soul and Body, touch and cure, restore and reconcile all that ails me, phyically, emotionally or spiritually, so that my whole being might be renewed in Christ. Amen.
