NOVENA PRAYER TO SAINT ANTHONY OF PADUA

FIRST DAY - JUNE 4

O holy St. Anthony, gentlest of saints, your love for God and charity for his creatures made you worthy while on earth to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me the favor I seek in this novena (State your intention). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle; even so, you are the saint of miracles. O gentle and loving Saint Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms, and the gratitude of my heart will always be yours.

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory be to the Father...

Saint Anthony of Padua, pray for us!

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...
