GOD THE EVANGELIZER (HOLY SPIRIT)
MEDITATION
“Jesus said to them: ‘The times and occasions are set by my Father's own authority and it is not for you to know when they will be. But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.”(Acts 1, 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 His Glorious Majesty, the Great Lord One in Three
Blessed be God in His angels and in His saints.
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us.

2⃣ CORPUS CHRISTI NOVENA
DAY 2 - JUNE 6
Most holy body and blood of Christ, give us the strength to approach and worship the throne of Your mercy.
Most Holy and Almighty God, we thank you and praise you for giving us the most precious body and blood of Your only son, Jesus Christ. Through the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion we are able to nourish our bodies and souls. We thank you for having made Yourself our food and for uniting us with You in this beautiful Sacrament.
In receiving the body and blood of Jesus, we live in You and through You. We praise you for offering Yourself as a continual sacrifice to Your Eternal Father for our salvation. Although we are not worthy to receive You, You sacrifice Yourself for us daily. And so, we request your most Holy intercession:

If it is Your holy Will, please grant our requests.
PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus, You made the ultimate sacrifice so that You could wash away the sins of the whole world. You have left us the great gift of your body and blood through the Holy Eucharist. We thank you and praise you every day for renewing in the daily sacrifice the actual sacrifice of the cross offered on Calvary, in which you gave divine justice and love for all of us sinners.
Glory be…
Amen.

BRIEF STORY OF ST. ANTHONY'S LIFE
ST. ANTHONY AND THE EUCHARISTIC MIRACLE WITH THE DONKEY
Though foreign and sickly, St. Anthony soon came to be recognized by the friars as a brilliant theologian and powerful preacher. He was assigned to preach throughout Italy and southern France. At Rimini he was heckled by a heretic who denied the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
St. Anthony challenged the heretic to let his donkey choose between a file of sumptuous animal fodder or the Eucharist. As St. Anthony held the Blessed Sacrament, the donkey approached and knelt in adoration.
St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us.
