[monasteryicons]

Saint Anthony the Great–feast day Jan 17th.

Honored as the first Christian abbot, Saint Anthony began his first step towards the angelic life by giving away his large inheritance and taking up a life of solitary prayer. Literally wrestling with the devil, he emerged victorious as one of the greatest masters of the Christian interior life.

Even in his desert solitude other like-minded men sought him ought, and he eventually gathered many disciples around him in the first Christian monastic order. Decades of vigorous ascetic labors and prayers left him a healthy vigorous man up till the time of his death at 105.

Abba Antony and the hunter

A hunter in the desert saw Abba Anthony enjoying himself with the brethren and he was shocked. Wanting to show him that it was necessary sometimes to meet the needs of the brethren, the old man said to him, ‘Put an arrow in your bow and shoot it.’ So he did. The old man then said, ‘Shoot another,” and he did so. Then the old man said, ‘Shoot yet again,’ and the hunter replied ‘If I bend my bow so much I will break it.’ Then the old man said to him, ‘It is the same with the work of God. If we stretch the brethren beyond measure they will soon break. Sometimes it is necessary to come down to meet their needs.’ When he heard these words the hunter was pierced by compunction and, greatly edifi ed by the old man, he went away. As for the brethren, they went home strengthened.
