Reflect
St. Anthony of Padua is often called upon when we have lost something—our keys, wallet, homework, etc. Yet he was also an outstanding preacher. He spoke in a way that ordinary people could understand the extraordinary mercy of God.
Pray
St. Anthony,
wonder-counselor
and seeker of what is lost,
intercede for me now
that I may see as you did.
Help me to notice God
in the ordinary moments
of my life.
Take what seems commonplace
and reveal God’s glory even there.
Amen.
Act
St. Anthony used everyday events to preach the Good News of Christ. Take time today to reflect on the ordinary, and pray that God may show himself to you in places you may be overlooking.
