January 17, 2017 – Feast of St. Anthony, Abbot (CA. 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.

— From a life of St. Anthony by St. Athanasius

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 twenty-four hours later? What one way can I seek to be more attentive?
