Anthony arrived in Assisi, where he found an incredible number of friars from all over Europe. They were all there around Francis for an important meeting: the Chapter of Mats.
At the end of the chapter Anthony waited for someone to give him a sign as to where the Lord wanted him to go.
Eventually, he was sent to the small hermitage of Montepaolo, near Forlì. Here, the learned Anthony led a very simple life spending many hours in prayer.
Prayer it’s the main way in which we develop a relationship with our Father in Heaven. It’s a real, genuine conversation with God. Of course it is a vertical conversation, not a horizontal one, but still a conversation. Which means that sometimes we talk to Him and sometimes He talks to us.

Let's pray: "Lord, please teach me to pray according to your perfect will and to be patient as I await your Word, which will undoubtedly come. Thank you in Jesus’ name. Amen"
