*AS I BEGIN THIS DAY...* _13 June 2025_ Heavenly Father, as I begin this day, on this blessed feast of St. Anthony of Padua, I thank You for the gift of this new day, and for calling me to be a labourer in Your abundant harvest. Help me to go forth with a heart of peace, trusting not in my own strength but in Your providence. May I carry no burdens that weigh me down, but rather the Gospel of love and healing that brings Your Kingdom near to those I meet today. Father, through the intercession of St. Anthony—faithful preacher, defender of the poor, and finder of the lost—give me the grace to proclaim Your Word with boldness and humility. May I bring comfort to the afflicted, hope to the troubled, and peace to every home I enter, knowing that Your presence goes before me. Make me a true disciple today, sent in Your name, guided by Your Spirit. Amen. ***** *Good Morning!* *Happy Feast of St. Antony!*
