Devotion of the 13 Tuesdays to Saint Anthony | Second 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 - Second Tuesday

Prayer: Prostrate...
Meditation: Death.

Everyone must die. Sooner or later we will pass from this world. We do not know when, but we may be sure that when death comes no one can escape. One day the thread of our life will be cut off forever. Do we know where death will find us? No. Will it come to us suddenly? After a long illness? Will we be prepared? Why not resolve now to prepare ourselves for it? Let us imitate the examples of St Anthony who forsook the world in his youth to prepare himself for a happy death.

Here make your request

Prayer: Glorious Saint Anthony, obtain for us the grace to imitate your example in observing faithfully our duties according to our particular state of life.

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

O God, let the ardent prayers of Saint Anthony, your confessor, make glad your church that we may be fortified by spiritual assistance and may deserve to possess eternal joy, through Jesus Christ our Lord - Amen.
