1⃣ 13 DAYS NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA

DAY 6 - JUNE 5

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, “Helper of the Poor,” help us find the presence of Christ Jesus in the poor, the suffering, the homeless and the elderly. {pause} We are companions of St. Anthony, Helper of the poor: may we discover the Lord Jesus in the lepers of our day, we pray:

(State your intentions here…)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

O good St. Anthony, Helper of the Poor, pray for us. Amen.

BRIEF STORY OF ST ANTHONY'S LIFE

ST. ANTHONY'S SHIP ARRIVES IN SICILY

Divine Providence sent St. Anthony's ship eastward towards Italy. Setting foot on Sicily, St. Anthony felt weak and abandoned. Identifying himself with the hungry and homeless, he reached out to the poor, and determined to persevere in his Franciscan vocation. He made his way northward to Assisi where St. Francis and the Friars were convening at their general assembly, known as the 1221 “Chapter of Mats.” A new day was dawning for St. Anthony and the Order.

St. Anthony of Padua: Pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

DAY 3 - JUNE 5

GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

"I will send you the Holy Spirit"

MEDITATION: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the Gift I told you about, the Gift my Father promised. John baptized with water, but in a few days, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 1, 4-5) “Baptize all nations in the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Mt. 28, 19) Now this is the abiding presence of the Blessed Trinity.

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
