I would like to share with you some photos of the Church of St. Anthony. This summer - searing hot as it is I have a teaching assignment in one of the Campus of my University. I passed by this Church and took time to make this little visit to a church where St. Anthony is dearly loved. Many Franciscan saints have found some following in the Philippines. The Franciscans, the Augustinians and Dominicans were instrumental in the evangelization of the Philippine Islands. They thread into grounds were others were unwilling to do. They lived with the natives, adapted to their language and customs, if only to communicate to them the message of the Gospel. The churches they built, and most importantly the people who now faithfully obey the Gospel of Christ are living monuments of that efforts of which Christ will reward his servants in the world to come.

The Noon day sun at its strength as seen from the inside. The light forcefully penetrating the doors is a figure of Christ who knocks at the door of our hearts.
