Bishop Anba Daniel (St Shenouda Monastery): – St Anthony and the only book he had: The Bible  

“Hold in your heart the commandments of Scripture” Life of Anthony

The Bible was central to St Anthony’s life. His everyday actions were backed up by the commandments of the Bible. St Athanasius the author of his life records him saying:

“hold in your heart the commandments of Scripture; be mindful of the works of the saints that your souls being put in remembrance of the commandments may be brought into harmony with the zeal of the saints.”

His Grace Anba Daniel, originally a monk from St Anthony’s Monastery has much to say about St Anthony and his personal relationship with the saint.

Archbishop Angaelos (Diocese of London): Being a Daily Witness

“Anthony left and withdrew to his monastic cell and daily bore witness (Martyred) there according to his usual custom.” Life of Anthony 47

Being a witness in the world might be a strange concept to many especially at a time when we are forced to stay at home. It is recorded in the life of St Anthony that he “daily bore witness” when he withdrew from the city and went to his cell. Archbishop Angaelos will speak to us about the ways we can be witnesses to Christ in isolation and how we should continuo to witnessing post pandemic.

Prof Malcolm Choat (Macquarie University): Life and Time of St Anthony

To better understand the life and spirituality of St Anthony we need to understand the culture and time where he lived. It would be a grave mistake to assume he lived in a world like ours. Malcolm will paint us a picture of the cultural context on the 3rd and 4th centuries where St Anthony lived from different sources such as archaeological finds, papyri and privet letters.  

Prof Malcolm Choat is Professor of Ancient History in the Faculty of Arts at Macquarie University where he also teaches Coptic Studies.

Martina Bastawrous: Our life and our death is with our neighbour.

Our life and our death is with our neighbour. If we have gained our brother, we have gained God, but if we scandalise our brother, we have sinned against God. 

Though the monastic life has great emphasis on solitude, yet we know from the teachings of St. Anthony that it does not contradict the Bible commandments of loving our neighbour as ourselves. Martina will explain to us how we can apply this saying in our everyday life.

Martina is currently a medical student and also a dedicated servant. A great portion of her attention is focused on serving the youth who who are living abroad together amidst their studies.
