He gave his goods to the poor and withdrew to the desert, where he fought the temptations of the devil and dedicated himself to prayer, with austerity of life. With him, groups of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/en\/resources-2\/the-monks-of-the-desert\/\">monks<\/a> consecrated to the service of God. Because of their ability to bring the souls of sinners out of hell, bonfires are often lit in their honor. \"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/es\/santos\/01\/17\/s--antonio--abad.html\">The demon<\/a> fears fasting, prayer, humility and good works,\" he said, \"and is reduced to helplessness in the face of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elpandelospobres.com\/san-antonio-abad-17-de-enero\">the sign of the cross<\/a>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His way of living in solitude, abandoning the usual way of life, and leaving behind the goods and affections of the world, made him the father of that form of primitive monasticism known as anchoritism, he explained. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diocesismalaga.es\/pagina-de-inicio\/2014055455\/san-antonio-abad-mucho-mas-que-el-patron-de-los-animales\/\">Antonio Moreno<\/a>.
