Saint Anthony Novena Day One: Embrace the Light of Christ
“When it is dark, we do not see how dusty and dirty our house is.
Only when the place is flooded with sunlight do we realize its awful condition.
So we need the light of God’s grace to show us the real state of our soul and
induce us to clean up our hearts!”
–Saint Anthony of Padua
