1⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

DAY 4 - JUNE 1

GOD THE CREATOR (FATHER)

"In the beginning, when God created the universe"

MEDITATION

“And so the whole universe was completed. By the seventh day, God finished what He had been doing and stopped working. He blessed the seventh day and set it apart as special, because by that day He had completed His creation and stopped working and that is how the universe was created.” (Gen. 2, 1-4)

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 the Undivided Trinity
Blessed be the Three Divine Persons in One God

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us.

BRIEF STORY OF ST. ANTHONY'S LIFE

ST. ANTHONY REFLECTS ON THE DEATH OF THE FIRST FRANCISCAN MARTYRS

When news reached Coimbra in 1220 that the five Franciscan missionaries had been brutally tortured and killed by the Muslims in Morocco, St. Anthony was profoundly saddened. Their remains were returned to his monastery for burial. The martyrdom of his friends stirred St. Anthony to search the Scriptures and to reflect even more deeply on the Gospel values of life and love.

St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us.
