Lemme tell you the beautiful story behind St. Anthony’s Bread.

Back in 13th-century Padua, Italy, a desperate mother found her 20-month-old boy, Tommasino, drowned in a water tub. In her grief, she prayed to St. Anthony and made a vow. If he interceded to bring her son back to life, she would donate the child’s exact weight in grain to the poor. The boy miraculously revived. This sparked a custom where people promised to give bread to the poor in exchange for St. Anthony’s prayers and protection. Over the centuries, it turned into the global tradition of blessing and sharing small loaves on his feast day. That's why many people went to their parish to eat free bread this morning 😆

St. Anthony was also a champion for the poor. The bread is a reminder to take care of the vulnerable in our communities. It is shared as a physical thank you for prayers answered and blessings received.
Devotees take it home to share with family, symbolizing God’s provision and a prayer against hunger and want. This is why our mommies usually hustle one or two loaves for us.

Antoooo... Paduaaa....

@emma_bishop1 @engrICO2015 @ayocartel Do you get? I’m so annoyed. That’s an adult for goodness sake! There are better ways.

[Winnie_Ifechukwu @Ifeco57]

@engrICO2015 Haba! Punishing an adult by kneeling her down. Na waa o

@biggestposh Hot plate will be a better idea.

[Winnie_Ifechukwu @Ifeco57]

@biggestposh I really don’t understand using boiling ring to cook though but that aside.

My concern is the plastic please. I thought we all already know plastics aren’t safe for heat. Haba naa please.

[Winnie_Ifechukwu @Ifeco57]

@biggestposh Fair.
But then, it’s really unsafe o. Hot food inside plastics are already dangerous let alone boiling in plastics. There are links to cancer.
Please stop. I understand it saves cost, but life first.

@layoproperty All those containers, every single thing you buy in containers, the cost for the containers add up. If it has satchet, it’s best to switch.

Lemme answer this in 8 points. But let me begin from you. I want you all to tag him to this so that he can see this.

1. You composed a criticism of an important article of the Creed of the Catholic church. I really wish you didn't, but you, as a Christian decided to write that. Has the Catholic intercession of the saints ever stopped you from achieving your life's goal, or you decided to join the bandwagon of those who criticize the Catholic church for clicks?

2. The idea that the saints are dead or that asking for their prayers is a white man's invention fundamentally misunderstands both Scripture and ancient Christian history.

3. Jesus explicitly stated in the Gospels that God "is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him" (Luke 20:38). Because Christ defeated death, those who die in faith are more alive today in heaven than we are on earth.

4. The Church is just one big family. If you can ask your friend on earth to pray for you, you can definitely ask your older siblings in heaven to do the same. Plus, African saints like St. Augustine were doing this centuries before European colonization even started.

5. Saying this is a white man's idea makes no sense because African Traditional Religion (ATR) does the exact same thing. In ATR, people respect and talk to their Ancestors (the living-dead), asking them to intercede with God for protection. Catholicism and African tradition actually agree here: the people who lived good lives before us still look out for us.

6. In real life, if you want a job, a visa, or a favor, you look for a connection, someone with influence who can put in a good word for you. That’s all intercession is. It’s not worship. It is just utilizing your network in high places. Just as you used your connection to arrest that unfortunate guy who insulted your wife.

7. The idea that you either pray or fight is a false choice. Praying doesn't mean you sit back and do nothing. Some of the biggest fighters in history, like St. Joan of Arc or St. Oscar Romero, were deeply spiritual. Prayer isn't an excuse to quit. It is the fuel that gives you the strength to stand up and fight your battles.

8. At the end of the day, everyone has their own way of connecting with God and finding strength. Mocking how someone else worships doesn't make anyone stronger. Respecting people's faith is just basic human decency.

@NancyAigbebhalu Maybe check if you can find evening service. Catholic Churches for one hold, check around to see if you can find somewhere even if it’s not the denomination I talked about.
So that you can still try going after you must have gotten some rest.
