We hear about the story of the ten men who had an awful disease. They knew they would be stuck with this disease for the rest of their lives! They knew they would have to live in a special place just for sick people. They knew they could talk only to other sick people, for the rest of their lives.
But our Lord, Jesus Christ came to heal people! He came to help people and to save them. And that day, He came to heal those ten sick men. He did heal them, and now they could go live normal lives again. They received the best gift ever, but sadly, only one man came back to thank Jesus. Christ told him, “Were not ten healed? Where are the nine?”
Do you ever wonder where those other nine men went? Well, they probably went off to enjoy their lives! They probably were so excited with their new gift that they forgot to thank the Giver! Today, can you think of some things you enjoy from God? Can you remember to thank God for them?

SAINT ANTHONY THE GREAT: HUMBLE YOURSELVES
Saint Anthony once had lots of money, but he sold all of his things and gave his money to the poor. He went out of the city to live in the desert, in Egypt. He left so that he could be close to God, in prayer and by fasting.
Saint Anthony humbled himself. He tried not to be important and famous and powerful. He knew that God would make him important if
He wanted to! We remember Saint Anthony as “the Great” because he is a great saint, and a great example to us!
