We are told in the First Book of Kings that: “Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of Help” (1 Samuel 4:1) … The ‘Stone of Help’ is Christ, who is referred to in this Sunday’s Office reading: “Jacob took a stone, and putting it under his head, slept” (Genesis 28:11). In this way, the preacher should rest his head upon Jesus Christ, the Stone of Help; so that he may rest upon him, and in and through him overcome the demons. This is the meaning of the words, ‘encamped by the Stone of Help’, because he sets the camp of his conversation, and pitches the tents of his preaching, beside Jesus Christ who is his help in time of trouble, and he trusts in Him, and attributes everything to Him. — From a Sermon of St. Anthony of Padua for the Second Sunday of Lent as found in The Sermons of St Anthony of Padua translated by Paul Spilsbury, 1979
