ST. ANTHONY SCHOOL SPOTLIGHT - click here!

ST. ANTHONY SCHOOL NEWS
“Love God, Love People, Live Virtuously”
Our theme during the month of March challenges us to live with the virtue of UNIVERSAL MORTIFICATION. “Universal” means all encompassing, or applicable everywhere. “Mortification” means to die to your own wants or desires or to sacrifice.

Our Blessed Mother lived out the virtue of Universal Mortification by putting her own desires aside. In Luke 1:38 she says, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” This week, our challenge to live this virtue will be to complete homework without complaining and to get up right away and get ready for school We will also continue putting “JMJ” at the top of class work to show that we are offering everything we do up to the Holy Family.

Our prayer this month will be: “Dear God, it is easy to fall into temptation and sin. Please help me to gain self-discipline so that I can cooperate with your grace and do your will.”
