Devotion of the 13 Tuesdays to Saint Anthony | Fifth Tuesday

  

1) Introductory Prayer

Prostrate before your divine presence, O my God, I adore you with my whole heart. I am sorry for having offended you. I recognise myself as unworthy of any favour. Inflame my heart, O Lord, so that I may imitate the example of your faithful servant, Saint Anthony, under whose patronage I place my soul and body - Amen

2) Special Prayers - Fifth Tuesday

Prayer: Prostrate...
Meditation: Watch and pray.

Saint Peter would urge the early Christians to watch and pray because the devil stands before us as a roaring lion; he does not remain still a single moment, but is always on the lookout for a new prey among the children of God.

Satan, as a keen general, is helped by his faithful attendants - the world, the devil and the human passions. Who will be a sure guide for us against such a dreadful enemy? With Saint Anthony we must look at Jesus Christ hanging on the cross and learn from Him.

Here make your request

Prayer: Glorious Saint Anthony, obtain for us from Jesus Christ abundant graces, so that we may conquer the three great enemies - the world, the devil, and our own passions, and thus enter into the kingdom of heaven

One Glory be

3) Responsory and Concluding Prayer

If then you ask for a miracle,
Death, error, all calamities,
The leprosy and demons fly,
And health succeeds infirmities.
The sea obeys and fetters break,
And lifeless limbs you do restore;
While treasures lost are found again
When young or old your aid implore.
All dangers vanish at your prayer,
And direst need does quickly flee.
Let those who know your power claim,
Let Paduans say these are of you.
The sea obeys, and fetters break, 

And lifeless limbs you do restore; 

While treasures lost are found again, 

When young or old your aid implore.

Pray for us, Saint Anthony,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us Pray
