Remembering the Immaculate heart of Mary
and St. Antony of Padua
The Immaculate Heart invites us to a pure and total dedication to God, a consecration so pure and absolute that no stain could ever affect that heart. Even the piercing sword found no resistance because that heart was mild, meek and docile inspite of being so strong and firm in its affection for God.
The anointed tongue of St. Antony inspires us to think, speak and proclaim God and God's love with such passion that we would not have an end at all. If the one who believes in the Lord has eternal life, imagine the one who proclaims and witnesses to the Lord incessantly. St. Antony within his short span of 36 years, lived his life with such passion that he achieved what would take hundreds of years. His single minded focus was on proclaiming the Word and that is what earned him the glory that he possesses.
