POOR OF SAINT ANTHONY (POSA)
"Learn to love humility, for it will cover all your sins. All sins are repulsive before God, but the most repulsive of all is pride of the heart. Do not consider yourself learned and wise; otherwise, all your efforts will be destroyed, and your boat will reach the harbor empty. If you have great authority, do not threaten anyone with death. Know that, according to nature, you too are susceptible to death, and that every soul sheds its body as its final garment."
"CHARITY is the soul of faith, makes it alive; without love, faith dies."
St. Anthony

St. Anthony of Padua is one of the most popular saints in the Roman Catholic Church. Commonly invoked as the patron saint of lost things. During his life he was a great friend of the poor and an influential preacher. He was revered as a saint from the moment of his death and canonized just 11 months later. He is also honoured as a Doctor of the Church.
