1⃣ 13 DAYS NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA

DAY 12 - JUNE 11

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, “Friend of Mary,” Help us find the openness to God's plan in our lives, as did you and Mary as you both trusted and risked all. {pause} We are companions of St. Anthony, Friend of Mary: May we take seriously our call to walk in Christian Discipleship without counting the cost, we pray:

(State your intentions here…)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

O good St. Anthony, Friend of Mary, pray for us. Amen.

BRIEF STORY OF ST ANTHONY'S LIFE

THE BODY OF ST. ANTHONY IS RETURNED TO PADUA AFTER HIS DEATH

St. Anthony died on the 13th of June 1231 at the friary in Arcella, A short distance from Padua. In his dying hours fortified by the sacraments of the Church, he prayed to the Blessed Virgin Mary, singing the hymn O Gloriosa Domina (“O Glorious Lady”). His body was returned for burial to the friars' small chapel of Our Lady in St. Anthony's beloved Padua.

DAY 8 - JUNE 11

O holy St. Anthony, thou hast shown thyself so powerful in thine intercession, so tender and so compassionate towards those who honor thee and invoke thee in suffering and distress. I beseech thee most humbly and earnestly to take me under thy protection in my present necessities and to obtain for me the favor I desire (State your intention). Recommend my request to the merciful Queen of Heaven, that she may plead my cause with thee before the throne of her Divine Son.

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!

3⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

DAY 6 - JUNE 11

GOD THE SANCTIFIER (HOLY SPIRIT)

"When He comes, He will prove to the people"

MEDITATION: “It is best for you that I go away, because if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. But if I do go away, then I will send Him to you. And when He comes, He will prove to the people that they were wrong about sin and about what is right and about God's judgment. They are wrong about sin because they did not believe in Me; they are wrong about what is right because I am going to the Father.”(Jn. 16, 7-8)

ADORER'S PRAYER

(Taught by the Angel of God to the three children at Fatima)

O my God, I believe, I adore, I hope, I love Thee! I ask pardon for those who do not believe, nor adore, nor hope, nor love Thee.

O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly! I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, Present in all the Tabernacles of the world, for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference committed against Thee in which He Himself is offended. Amen.

DIVINE PRAISES TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

Blessed be God the Father Almighty
Blessed be Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us.
