As a young boy, his name was Philopateer, a wealthy boy from Rome, loved God and followed His command to give his wealth to the poor and live a life of devotion.
He became Saint Anthony the Great, living in the wilderness and facing challenges while staying focused on God’s strength.
Saint Anthony’s fame spread, and he prayed for the Emperor and the church.
He lived a life of prayer, service, and humility, leaving behind a legacy of faith, courage, and dedication to God.
Lessons from Saint Anthony’s life for children:

Stay Focused on God: Pray, read God’s words, and keep Him close in your heart.
Be Brave and Resist Temptations: Make good choices and stay away from harmful things.

Saint Anthony’s lessons of faith and goodness continue to guide us today.
