圣安托尼是埃及人,公元250年左右出生于赫库雷亚附近科曼村一个尊贵且富有的家庭。在父母去世后,他将继承的财产的一半分给了年幼的妹妹,好叫她能在亲友的监护下成长。安托尼将自己的一半财产施舍给了穷人,在年满20岁后开始度修行生活,这也是他自幼的愿望。起初,安托尼就在自己家乡附近修行,后来为了逃避众人的打扰,他隐退到了红海岸边的旷野。作为一名隐士,他在那里渡过了20年的时间,不同任何人联系,只是通过恒切的祈祷,沉思,默观与上帝交通,同时忍受着魔鬼难以形容的的猛烈诱惑。安托尼的圣洁名声传遍了大地,很多修道人前来依止他修行,藉着他的教诲和榜样,他们走上了得救的正途。在85年的修行生活中,安托尼只去过亚历山大里亚城两次:第一次是因为时值教难,圣人举意进城为主殉道;第二次是受圣阿塔纳西的邀请,反驳异端者阿里乌的诬蔑:说圣安托尼可能也支持他们的邪说。安托尼得享了105岁的高龄,于平安中息劳归主,留下了众多的弟子和追随者。尽管安托尼不是一名学者,但是他却是当时最有学问之人的教诲者和导师,一如圣阿塔纳西。当希腊的一些哲学家用文学知识试探他的时候,圣安托尼反问他们:“书本和真知,谁先谁后?谁因谁果?”这些哲学家们感到非常羞愧,无言而退,因为他们意识到自己只有文学知识而没有超然的真知,而安托尼则直观那至高的真理。他就是这样一个人:人生在世所能达到的成全他都达到了,他确实是众师之师。他在85年的修行生活中使自己达到臻善之境,这样才有引导其他人也臻于完全的能力。安托尼在世长寿,功全德备,于公元335年安息主怀。 If you like our project and you are satisfied with our work and effort, please consider making a donation that would help us to survive on the Internet and in further development of the project.
