Tuesday Devotion to St. Anthony de Padua
PRAYER:
O Holy Saint Anthony, the gentlest and kindest of all Saints, your burning love of God, your exalted virtues and your great charity towards your fellow creatures made you worthy, when on earth to possess miraculous powers such as were given to no other saint. To the sick you gave back health, you restored what was lost and the sorrow stricken were the objects of your tender compassion.
Encouraged by this thought and convinced of the efficacy of your holy intercession, I kneel before your holy image and full of confidence, I implore you to obtain for me the favour that I now need. (Name intention).
O gentle and loving St. Anthony, you whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my prayer into the ears of the Infant Jesus, who loved to linger in your arms. One word from you and my prayer will be granted.
One Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be.
O wonderful St. Anthony, glorious on account of the fame of your miracles, and through the condescension of Jesus in coming in the form of a little child to rest in your arms, obtain for me of His bounty the grace which I ardently desire from the depths of my heart . (State your intention). You who were so compassionate toward miserable sinners, regard not the unworthiness of those who pray to you, but the glory of God that it may once again be magnified by the granting of the particular request (State your intention) which I now ask for with persevering earnestness. Amen
Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and Glory Be to the Father, in honor of Saint Anthony.
