“The Temptation of St. Anthony” – by Lucas van Leyden

“The devil is afraid of us when we pray and make sacrifices. He is also afraid when we are humble and good. He is especially afraid when we love Jesus very much. He runs away when we make the Sign of the Cross.” (St. Antony of the Desert, Abbot)

January 17 is the Memorial of St. Antony, Abbot (251 — 356).
