St. Anthony Angels

Who can be more blessed or happier than one in whom God has set up His dwelling place? What else can you need or what else can possibly make you richer? You have everything when you have within you the one who made all things, the only One who can satisfy the longings of your spirit, without whom everything else is nothing.
