History
Paphnutius
was from Egypt. After he learned about Jesus, he spent several years in the
desert where he got spiritual direction from Saint Antony. Paphnutius eventually
became a bishop. He was attacked for being a Christian, but he returned to his
people as soon as he could and considered all his scars and losses to be a
chance to glorify Jesus. He was invited to the first general council of the
Church at Nicaea, where he spoke with great wisdom and mercy.
Activity
One of the things that came from the Council of Nicaea was
the Nicene Creed. This simple statement of faith is a good reflection on the
type of Christianity that Paphnutius taught and practiced. Today, pray the
Nicene Creed as a family.
