Feast of St. Anthony, Abbot (250 - 356) "Indeed, he was so attentive when Scripture was read that nothing escaped him and because he retained all he heard, his memory served him in place of books." St. Athanasius about St. Anthony For Reflection: How attentive am I when I hear Sacred Scripture being read? Could I pass a pop quiz on the passage as soon as it is read? How about 24 hours later? What one way can I seek to be more attentive?
