    St. Anthony of Egypt

    St. Anthony of Egypt, the Patron Saint of Monks, was born of wealthy Christian parents at Coma, a small village in Upper Egypt, in 251. Before he was twenty years of age his parents died and he found himself the possessor of a large estate and charged with the care of a younger sister.

    St. Anthony of Egypt Acts on GodÂ’s Word

    About six months later he read in church the words of Christ to the rich young man: “Go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor: and come, follow Me’. (Matthew 19-21)Anthony considered these words as addressed to him and gave away all of his possessions. Placing his sister in a convent, he retired into solitude near Coma and begged an aged hermit to teach him the spiritual life. He visited other solitaries and strove to emulate the principal virtue of each, so that he soon became a perfect model of humility, Christian courtesy, charity, prayer, and all the other virtues.

    Establishing the First Religious Community

    About the year 305, when Anthony was fifty-five, he left his mountain retreat and founded his first monastery at Fayum, and another shortly after at Pispir. By gathering together a number of hermits into one community, St. Anthony was the first to establish the religious life as it is known today.He became famous throughout Egypt and even beyond its borders, so that people from all walks of life sought his advice

    In 339 St. Anthony saw in a vision, under the figure of “mules kicking down the altar”, the havoc which the Arian persecution was to make two years later in Alexandria, and clearly foretold it, as St. Athanasius, St. Jerome and St. Chrysostom assure us. St. Anthony aided St. Athanasius in his fight against the heretical teachings of Arianism. When ninety years old he preached a sermon in Alexandria at the invitation of St. Athanasius, in which he boldly accused the Arians of heresy. A most sublime gift of heavenly contemplation and prayer was the fruit of this great saints holy retirement.

    On January 17, 356, at the age of one hundred and five, St. Anthony died peacefully in the Lord.

    St. Anthony of EgyptÂ’s Lasting Impact

    By establishing the first religion community, St. Anthony of Egypt set a model that continues to this day of an ideal community for growing closer to God. By wearing a St Anthony of Egypt necklace each day we are reminded of the important role we are each called in building GodÂ’s Kingdom here on earth.
    This St Anthony of Egypt medal is a great way to honor the work and prayer of the beautiful men and women who still to this day follow the example of St Anthony and have dedicated their lives in prayer and devotion to God. May we each be inspired to answer GodÂ’s calling in our own lives. St. Anthony of Egypt, patron saint of months, pray for us.
