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, “Seeker of the Lost” help us find what is missing in our lives, whether it be things lost, strained relationships, and for those who have drifted from the community of the Church. {pause} We are companions of St. Anthony, may we recognize his gentle guidance in a deeper relationship with the Lord Jesus and His bride, the Church, we pray:

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...

O good St. Anthony, Seeker of the Lost, pray for us. Amen.

BRIEF STORY OF ST. ANTHONY'S LIFE

ST. ANTHONY'S SHIP IS THROWN OFF COURSE IN A STORM

Having bade farewell to his beloved Africa and his missionary dreams, St. Anthony's journey of life soon encountered a new challenge. His ship was blown off course by a terrible storm on the Mediterranean. The ailing St. Anthony, lost at sea, found his “anchor” in the Lord. He surrendered himself to the holy will of God.

St. Anthony of Padua: Pray for us!

2⃣ CORPUS CHRISTI NOVENA

DAY 3 - JUNE 4

Most holy body and blood of Christ, You are the greatest gift from God and we praise you greatly.

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. Amen.

Glory be…
