January 17th
St. Anthony of Egypt, Patriarch of Monks (251-356)
"...let us persevere in our acts of asceticism. And that we may not become weary and disheartened, it is good to meditate on the words of the apostle: 'I die daily.' If we live with the picture of death always before our eyes, we will not sin."
