Day 9 of the Tredicina to St Anthony of Padua

Join us in prayer...

Ninth Day

O glorious Saint! As protector of the innocent , thou didst make a child only a few days old speak to save the honor of its mother; we beseech thee, obtain for us the grace of being strong and submissive to the Will of God in unjust persecutions and of preserving intact the peace and purity of our souls.

Pray one Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and St. Bonaventure’s Miraculous Responsory of St. Anthony

If then you ask for miracles,

Death, error, all calamities,

The leprosy and demons fly,

And health succeeds infirmities.

The sea obeys, and fetters break,

And lifeless limbs thou dost restore,

Whilst treasures lost are found again,

When young and old thine aid implore.

All dangers vanish at thy prayer,

And direst need doth quickly flee;

Let those who know thy power proclaim,

Let Paduans say: “These are of thee.”

The sea obeys, and fetters break,

And lifeless limbs thou dost restore,

Whilst treasures lost are found again,

When young and old thine aid implore.

To Father, Son, may glory be,

And Holy Spirit eternally.

The sea obeys, and fetters break,

And lifeless limbs thou dost restore,

Whilst treasures lost are found again,

When young and old thine aid implore.

Pray for us, St. Anthony, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray: O God! May the votive commemoration of St. Anthony, Thy Confessor and Doctor, be a source of joy to Thy Church, that she may always be fortified with spiritual assistance and may deserve to possess eternal joy. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
