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, “Defender of the Faith,” help us to find the truth held in the rich heritage of our Church's teachings and community life. {pause} We are companions of St. Anthony, Defender of the faith: may we recommit ourselves to a deeper appreciation of the gift of our Catholic Faith and our call to faithfulness and holiness, we pray:

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

O good St. Anthony, Defender of the Faith , pray for us. Amen.

BRIEF STORY OF ST ANTHONY'S LIFE

ST. ANTHONY PREACHES TO THE FISH

Known as the “Evangelical Doctor,” St. Anthony defended the teachings of the church through a new evangelization faithful to the Pope and the Magisterium. His opponents sometimes prevented people from coming to hear him preach.

On one such occasion in Rimini, St. Anthony looked out to the sea and began preaching to the fish. Thousands of fish came to the surface, and arranging themselves in rows, eagerly listened. Word of this amazing wonder spread and the people soon came to hear and believe.

St. Anthony of Padua: Pray for us!

2⃣ NOVENA TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

DAY 5 - JUNE 7

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
