Father Lazarus

Here's the gospel that he says when the Lord told the rich young ruler, if you want to be perfect, go sell all that you have, give to the poor and come follow me.

He said, this is it.

This is my message.

He sells everything he has at 19.

And he goes and he lives a life of devotion.

And he starts the monastic movement.

Beautiful, rich history.

Some of the great, beautiful stories of the desert fathers all started because of this man, God's work in this man.

So, St.

Anthony said, if you wake up every day telling yourself this may be the last day I live on this earth, and if you go to sleep every night telling yourself this may be the last night I ever sleep, and if you live like this, you will be prepared for the Lord.

So we keep, and this is why we pray unceasingly.

The Bible tells us to pray unceasingly.

We have this beautiful prayer.

It's called an arrow prayer.

It's a little prayer that we shoot up as little arrows, daggers up to heaven.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.

Lord Jesus, this is something that people can say throughout the day as they're driving, as they're in a tough situation in the workplace.

Something I love to do is I make a little cross with my finger like,

As I'm sitting, I do this and I remind myself, my Lord Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price because he loves me.

And I'm holding his hand.
