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 Broom preaches on the Gospel of Mark 1:29-39.This is a day in the public life of Christ. He preaches, he cures the ill and drives out many demons. What a long tiring day……what does he do the next morning? Sleep in? No, he rises “very early before dawn”. What a model for our prayer life. If we want to become more and more Christ like we must develop, nurture, and protect our daily Holy Hour.
