Anthony, through your teaching and preaching you bore witness to the loving presence of God in all of creation. Now that you have come into the fullness of the kingdom, pray for us that our lives might also proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to all humanity.

PRAYER: Almighty, Eternal God, you have given your people St. Anthony as an outstanding preacher and intercessor in times of need. Grant that with his help we may follow in the example of Christian living and experience your support in all adversities. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Anthony, “Messenger of Mercy,” help us find the compassion to forgive ourselves and others as Jesus forgives us. {pause} We are companions of St. Anthony, Messenger of Mercy: may we trust God who loves us unconditionally, extends endless mercy and forgiveness, we pray:

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

O good St. Anthony, Messenger of Mercy, pray for us. Amen.

BRIEF STORY OF ST ANTHONY'S LIFE

ST. ANTHONY BLESSES THE CITY OF PADUA

What Assisi was for St. Francis, Padua became for St. Anthony. As a realist, he saw the great problems of secularism and violence corrupting this beautiful city. His final preaching and negotiating would labor for Padua's radical reform - its call to holiness. His evangelization efforts would succeed in winning for Padua the mercy of God.

St. Anthony of Padua: Pray for us!

DAY 7 - JUNE 10

O renowned champion of the faith of Christ, most holy St. Anthony, glorious for thy many miracles, obtain for me from the bounty of my Lord and God the grace which I ardently seek in this novena (State your intention). O holy St. Anthony, ever attentive to those who invoke thee, grant me that aid of thy powerful intercession.

O wonderful St. Anthony, glorious on account of the fame of your miracles, and through the condescension of Jesus in coming in the form of a little child to rest in your arms, obtain for me of His bounty the grace which I ardently desire from the depths of my heart .

(State your intention)

You who were so compassionate toward miserable sinners, regard not the unworthiness of those who pray to you, but the glory of God that it may once again be magnified by the granting of the particular request (State your intention) which I now ask for with persevering earnestness. Amen.

One Our Father, One Hail Mary, and Glory Be to the Father, in honor of Saint Anthony.

Saint Anthony, pray for us!
