Over at Christ Is In Our Midst! they post the most beautiful and useful things. Today I read these words of St. Anthony the Great. I think I will have them written into my will and carved in my tombstone. St. Anthony is sometimes called the father of monasticism, but I think that title should go to St. John the Baptist. Or perhaps, St. John is the forerunner of monasticism, as he is the Forerunner of Jesus. Anyway... Here are the words I read over at Christ Is In Our Midst!
When we lay aside this perishable body
we receive it back imperishable…
the sufferings of the present time
do not compare to the glory
that is going to be revealed to us…
