Saint Antony of the Desert by St. Athanasius

Families should have a Medieval Benedictine monks library of Pre-Christian works like Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Cicero who sought Truth to the Early Church Fathers who knew the Truth was God.  Then the Law of God remains in our hearts and families will not falter. We offer you one of the classics and it is advised to Read A-Loud, while others in the family listen.

Let Saint Antony be a guide and father to all as families read A-Loud the rich heritage of the Catholic Faith. "For what profit is it to possess these things which yet we cannot take with us?  Why not rather possess those things which we can take away with us--prudence, justice, temperance, fortitude, understanding, charity, love of the poor, gentleness, hospitality? For if we gain these possessions, we shall find them going beforehand, to make a welcome for us there in the land of the meek."  Also St. Antony of the Desert encourages us in the use of the Holy Name of Jesus and the sacramentals of Holy Mother the Church to make powerless the numerous fallen angels who desire our downfall.
