Father Broom preaches on St. Anthony of the Desert. Some saints die as children, many die in middle age and some live to be over 100 years old, like St. Anthony of the Desert.
He lived a rigorous life of fasting and prayer… he lived in the harsh environment of the desert… he ate and slept little and yet he radiated joy. When we truly have God we surely have joy. When we have God as St. Anthony did, the poor material conditions of our life fade away from our mind and we are left with only the presence of God…. and that counts as pure joy!
Father Ed Broom OMV is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary and is Associate Pastor at St. Peter Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens California.
