Antoni Wielki cytaty

Antoni Wielki , Święty Antoni, – egipski pustelnik, opat i ojciec pustyni; tradycyjnie uznawany za twórcę anachoretyzmu, jednej z odmian ruchu monastycznego.

Abba Antoni uznany został przez historyków za rewolucjonistę duchowości chrześcijańskiej, bowiem w czasach, kiedy stało się ono religią państwową i przestała istnieć potrzeba oddawania życia za wiarę, wypracował on nowy model męczeństwa polegający na dożywotniej kontemplacji na pustyni w całkowitym wyrzeczeniu się siebie i surowej ascezie.

Uznany za świętego przez Kościół katolicki, Kościół anglikański, Cerkiew prawosławną i Koptyjski Kościół Ortodoksyjny. Niektóre kościoły protestanckie uważają go za bohatera wiary. Kościół luterański zalicza go do odnowicieli Kościoła. Wikipedia

Book II, Chapter 10
From St. Athanasius' Life of St. Antony

“Whoever hammers a lump of iron, first decides what he is going to make of it, a scythe, a sword, or an axe. Even so we ought to make up our minds what kind of virtue we want to forge or we labour in vain.”

The Living Testament: The Essential Writings of Christianity Since the Bible (1985), p. 66.
From St. Athanasius' Life of St. Antony

“I am going the way of my fathers, as the Scripture says, for I see myself called by the Lord. Be you wary and undo not your long service of God, but be earnest to keep your strong purpose, as though you were but now beginning. You know the demons who plot against you, you know how savage they are and how powerless; therefore, fear them not. Let Christ be as the breath you breathe; in Him put your trust. Live as dying daily, heeding yourselves and remembering the counsels you have heard from me. … So do you also be earnest always to be in union first with the Lord and then with the Saints, that after death, they also may receive you into everlasting tabernacles as known friends. Ponder these things, and mean them. … And now God save you, children, for Antony departs and is with you no more.”
