1⃣ 13 DAYS NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA

DAY 7 - JUNE 6

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, “Lover of the Eucharist,” help us find true devotion in the presence of Christ in the Eucharist by accepting his invitation to feed his people. {pause} We are companions of St. Anthony, Lover of the Eucharist: may we recognize Jesus “in the breaking of the bread” and in all people, we pray:

(State your intentions here…)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

O good St. Anthony, Lover of the Eucharist, pray for us. 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!

2⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

DAY 4 - JUNE 6

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.
