1⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

DAY 5 - JUNE 2

GOD THE ANOINTED SAVIOR (JESUS)

MEDITATION

“Don't be afraid Mary, God has been gracious to you. You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God.' Mary said to the angel, ‘ I am a virgin, how then can this be?' The angel answered: ‘The Holy Spirit will come on you, and God's power will rest upon you. For this reason, the holy Child will be called the Son of God.”(Lk. 1, 30-35)

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 true God and only God
Blessed be the Almighty Goodness united in the Three Divine Persons

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us.

BRIEF STORY OF ST. ANTHONY'S LIFE

ST. ANTHONY EXPERIENCES THE CALL OF THE FRANCISCAN WAY OF LIFE

Already ordained a priest in the Canons Regular, St. Anthony began to discern that God was calling him to a Franciscan vocation. He began to visit the nearby olive grove where the friars lived in an impoverished hermitage. There St. Anthony came to know the spirit of St. Francis, the “Little Poor Man of Assisi.” With the permission of the Church, St. Anthony was soon invested as a friar in the habit of the Franciscan Order.

St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us.
