Most exalted Saint Anthony of Padua, Light of the Holy Church of Jesus Christ, who stamped out heresies; and Ark of the New Testament. Obtain for me from our Lord God what I desire and ask for in this novena, if it be for your glory and the glory of God. But, if not, rectify my request; and pray to God that I may be given what will glorify Him and what will benefit my soul.

Lord God and Lord of the Angels who watch over the people on earth. I bring to you the righteous acts of those exalted angels, and the works also of your lovable servant Saint Anthony. He is called an Angel, because he is most pure in body and soul, and he removed many people from unending errors of body and soul which surrounded them on earth.

Lord, I beseech you that you grant me interior purity, as you once gave Saint Anthony; and also that which I desire in this novena if it be to your glory and the good of my soul. Amen.

Pray three times the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. When that is finished, ask Saint Anthony what you desire in this novena. Pray a little.

The Deeds of Saint Anthony of Padua

Saint Anthony, the exalted Miracle Worker, was born in 1195 in Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal. He is also called Saint Anthony of Padua because that is where he died to the world and was born unto heaven. His parents were nobles and good; and he was named Ferdinand when he was baptized in the church of Saint Mary.

Ferdinand’s goodness was seen in his early years; and by the word of the elders we know that when he was five years old he went to the altar of Holy Mary and vowed that he would not stain his soul with any impurity of any kind.

It is said of his childhood that he said his prayers; and the devil came to him, with a fearful appearance; and Ferdinand frightened him and chased him, for he traced the cross on rock. And the holy cross remained fixed there as if it were written on soft wax.

When Ferdinand was fifteen years old, the status of his parents and his privileged upbringing could do harm to his soul had he remained among the worldly. For his lively comportment, his intelligence, that love of revelry which stirred in his heart, influenced his peers and acquaintances; and he was greatly loved and cherished. But his faith which was rooted within him and his upright training were joined with heavenly grace; and he was joyfully followed.

That good soul free of grave sin could not remain constant in the world where many things could injure him. His soul wanted to be generous to God, and before long he thought of doing what would improve him; and his thoughts were unalterable.

He went to the Superior of the Augustinian priests at the church of Saint Vincent which lay on the outskirts of Lisbon; and he asked with all his heart to be admitted among the priests. It was not difficult to acquiesce to his request; for he know his good birth and blameless ways. Ferdinand was clothed not long after with the black habit of the Augustinian priests; and that very day when he entered, he strove to obey the Rule of that community where he was admitted.

O Saint Anthony, who was called an Angel on account of the purity of your soul! May your preeminence and praise be unending among the angels and people, because you imitated the angels in your inner purity, and you were given by God that beautiful and most fragrant virtue of theirs. My soul rejoices in your excellence; and I pray to you that you obtain for me from our sweet Jesus Christ that my body and soul be most pure, if I try to do well those things that bring glory to God. Grant me also that which I ask in this novena, if it be for the good of my soul. Amen.

Prayer to the Immaculate Conception

Most holy Queen and sinless Virgin Mary! You were saved by God from original sin, and you were able to become the good mother of His only Son who became man in your most pure womb. I beseech you, sinless Virgin and most blessed among women, that you render me forgiven by your divine Son of my great evils; and have my name written in the Book of Life where the names of those chosen by God are inscribed; and that I will be able to obtain the eternal blessedness of heaven which I await through your prayers.

Beg from Jesus Christ also that he exalt his Name, that heresies and heretics be wiped away, that the demons be conquered, that we be kept in peace and that Christian leaders be reconciled. If this should be, then we shall soon see the glory of God and his rule over the earth, and his joyful countenance in heaven. He who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

The Deeds of Saint Anthony of Padua

The elders relate that, while he lived in the convent of Saint Augustine, he often said Mass at the altar, and he saw that the soul of a Franciscan priest had just died and went quickly into heaven without going through Purgatory.

Not long after, at the beginning of 1220, five Franciscan priests stayed at Saint Anthony’s convent; and those priests were sent by Saint Francis of Assisi to Morocco to preach the Holy Gospel to unbelievers. But he was informed that those brave missionaries were killed by the unbelieving Moors because they proclaimed and preached Jesus Christ. The bodies of those killed were taken over to Portugal, where they were solemnly buried. God performed a remarkable miracle; and commanded that the Augustinian priest with whom they had earlier called on and stayed with would care for the bodies of those martyrs. When he saw this, Ferdinand desired with all his heart to go over to the Franciscan Friars where there were such men of God and martyrs.

His prayer before God was heard; and quickly he changed the black habit of the Augustinian priests for the rough garment of Saint Francis. And he asked that his name Ferdinand be changed to Anthony; for he greatly desired to glorify the name of Saint Anthony the Abbot who was the patron of that small convent where he was then staying.

Not long afterward, Anthony reminded the superiors of the Friars about his earlier request to be sent to the Moors. And he was put on board a vessel headed for Morocco, where he believed he would be killed, and would be able to acquire the palm of martyrdom.

As soon as he arrived in the land of Morocco, he was tired and fatigued by his travels and seafaring in a foreign land; and he caught a fever which pained him so, and they laid down there that winter. The saint saw clearly there the will of God; and he happily obeyed it. And he endured with great forbearance the illness which God had given him. And when he had not entirely recovered, he continued to sail over to Portugal. But the sea had high waves; and the rough seas diverted the ship toward Sicily, where it was compelled to harbor; and he took shelter in the small friary of the Franciscan priests in Messina.

Prayer

O Saint Anthony! You make happy and alleviate the souls who call on you. I rejoice in your greatness which God has given you, similar to the greatness of the Archangels. You were loved and chosen by God for his servant; and you were sent by our Lord to speak to the people about the word of heaven, you taught them the straight and true way of God which itself alone leads to heaven.

Pray for me to Jesus Christ our sweet Lord; and ask that his light show me the difficult way to heaven and the good virtues. If my soul is enlightened and encouraged, I will be able to truly fulfill my mission here on earth, and obtain the grace of God. Obtain for me also what I desire in this novena if it be for the glory of God and the good of my soul. Amen.

Prayer to the Immaculate Conception

Most holy Queen and sinless Virgin Mary! You were saved by God from original sin, and you were able to become the good mother of His only Son who became man in your most pure womb. I beseech you, sinless Virgin and most blessed among women, that you render me forgiven by your divine Son of my great evils; and have my name written in the Book of Life where the names of those chosen by God are inscribed; and that I will be able to obtain the eternal blessedness of heaven which I await through your prayers.

Beg from Jesus Christ also that he exalt his Name, that heresies and heretics be wiped away, that the demons be conquered, that we be kept in peace and that Christian leaders be reconciled. If this should be, then we shall soon see the glory of God and his rule over the earth, and his joyful countenance in heaven. He who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

The Deeds of Saint Anthony of Padua

The day came when that light of God would be placed where he could be seen, and would light up the world. Listen to how God would show Saint Anthony to the world.

In the year 1222, many Franciscan and Dominican priests came to Farli. They gathered and spoke about holy things. But the Dominican priests humbled themselves and didn’t want to appear before the other priests. That is why the superior of the Franciscan priests, apparently inspired and enlightened by God, faced Saint Anthony whom he accompanied, and ordered him to speak. The saint obeyed; and spoke that which God the Holy Spirit prompted him to speak. He began with the words of Saint Paul: “Christ obeyed until death, death on a cross.” He proposed Jesus Christ as the true model of priests, and the choice of those who totally leave and abandon the world and its treasures. The beginning of his speech was seemingly slow and faltering, but he quickly made it resound; and much of what he said was as if it was enflamed. Those who listened were astounded by what he said; and they thought they were listening to the words of a prophet. They didn’t know whether they marveled at his love or at his great humility.

They told Saint Francis about the intelligence and wondrous knowledge of Saint Anthony; and he, who wanted that priests should be knowledgeable and be able to teach the way to God, considered that Saint Anthony was chosen to be the teacher of priests.

He left for Montpellier; and in that city the incident passed in which began the invocation of Saint Anthony when something is lost. When he was writing the EXPLANATION OF THE PSALMS, his exceptionally good book; a novice religious took that book, for he loved to read; and he ran off. The Holy Teacher was in sorrow over his loss; and he went to pray. The thief was stopped in his tracks. When he tried to pass a river he saw a terrifying figure who carried an axe in his hand; and he called out threateningly, saying: Remember the God who made heaven and earth; and return what you stole, if you do not want to be thrown into the river.”

The novice was stunned. He went back to the convent. He confessed his theft; and he tearfully begged for mercy. Saint Anthony gave back to him the religious habit; and loved him the same as before.

O loving and beloved Saint Anthony of Padua, who sought to bring the people to God persuaded by the lovable words which you brought forth from your holy heart! I rejoice in the special gifts and benefits God gave your soul, for he made you like unto the Angelic Principalities. You frequently taught and made wise the powerful and powerless commoners of the land through your wonderful miracles and heavenly discourse.

Obtain the lucid light for me from the all-powerful God: and that will show me his deepest will; and I will be able to lead the people to heaven. Grant me also what I request in this novena this day, if it be for the greater glory of God, and the good of my soul. Amen.

The Deeds of Saint Anthony of Padua

Saint Anthony was sent to Puy-en-Bellay, where did many amazing works. I will explain one of them: “There lived there a most evil notary. If he met Saint Anthony, he was bowed to with great respect. But the notary was enraged; because he thought he was being mocked. And when they faced each other, he said to him: Why are you ridiculing me? If I didn’t fear God, I’d pierce you with my sword. Saint Anthony replied, and said: My brother, I am envious of your goodness. I have asked God that I be a martyr: but he has denied me that grace. Now God has made me know that you have been given by our Lord that grace; and I pray you to remember what I once told you when your death comes. That word of Saint Anthony did not take long to come about.”

In Arles, where he sweetly explained the writing on the cross of our Lord: “Jesus of Nazareth, king of the Jews,” a profound joy filled the hearts of the listeners which they never experienced before. It cannot be denied that something divine occurred. And so it was. Saint Francis of Assisi died and was going to heaven, and he appeared to Saint Anthony, and he sweetly blessed in the name of God his children with his last blessing: and he was praising the preaching of his famous and beloved son Saint Anthony. No one in the church saw Saint Francis, except only for Brother Monaldo who saw the Seraph of Assisi when he appeared.

In Limoges, on the day of Holy Thursday, when he began the sermon, he recalled that he was told to sing with the choir at the High Mass which was done at that same time in the friary, but he forgot about it and did not ask for a priest to replace him. He greatly regretted his mistake, and stood still and was silent for a while. Those listening to him were greatly amazed. What was happening there? Saint Anthony was in the pulpit of Limoges and in his friary at the same time when he was fulfilling his duties among his brethren.

In the convent of Solignac, he put aside his payment for the Benedictine priests, for he was staying with them. In the convent was a pitiful religious who suffered under the demons with impure thoughts, and he could not be at peace day or night. He told the Miracle Worker Saint Anthony what was happening to him; and he was clothed with the clothing of the saint. That clothing which was made holy through its contact with the pure body of Saint Anthony brought forth awesome power; and the disordered lure of the flesh was calmed down in that religious, and he was miraculously freed from that temptation. The religious knelt before Saint Anthony, and gave him thanks.

O beloved Saint Anthony of Padua! You were given power by God like that of the group of angels called the Angelic Virtues. You assist those who run to you and call on you, you save them from the wicked lures and traps of the demons. Ask for me from the sweet Jesus, that he strengthen my soul; that I may defeat the demons; and repel his evil attacks on my soul. Defend me now in my weakness and at my death. Obtain for me also that which I desire and ask for in these nine days, if it be for the greater glory of God and the good of my soul. Amen.

Prayer to the Immaculate Conception

Most holy Queen and sinless Virgin Mary! You were saved by God from original sin, and you were able to become the good mother of His only Son who became man in your most pure womb. I beseech you, sinless Virgin and most blessed among women, that you render me forgiven by your divine Son of my great evils; and have my name written in the Book of Life where the names of those chosen by God are inscribed; and that I will be able to obtain the eternal blessedness of heaven which I await through your prayers.

Beg from Jesus Christ also that he exalt his Name, that heresies and heretics be wiped away, that the demons be conquered, that we be kept in peace and that Christian leaders be reconciled. If this should be, then we shall soon see the glory of God and his rule over the earth, and his joyful countenance in heaven. He who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

I pray to you that you make me love the hidden life and humility of heart, as did Saint Anthony who hid before the crowd, and who never desired nothing from the wondrous miracles which came from his hand other than the glory of your praiseworthy and holy Name. Grant me also what I ask in this novena, if my requests are for the greater glory of your holy Name and the benefit of my soul. Amen.

The Deeds of Saint Anthony of Padua

Saint Anthony sailed for the principal cities of Italy; and that is when he experienced staying in Padua. There, as is written by the other wise men; he was informed by God that his father was accused and maligned of having killed an adolescent. Saint Anthony entered his room and prayed. And he was quickly taken by the angels over to Lisbon, where his father was. He raised to life the killed man, and made him tell the truth: that it was not Saint Anthony’s father who killed him. That is how his father was saved, and his good reputation shone forth and the honor of Saint Anthony’s relatives.

Not long later he returned to Assisi; and went to Rome where he spoke the Word of God before the Holy Father Pope Gregory IX, who was overwhelmed by the great knowledge of Saint Anthony in the way of righteousness and his intelligence concerning the Holy Scriptures; and was called “the Ark of the Testament.”

When he left for Florence, he consented to preach before a wealthy man who just died. When he explained that Word of God: “There where your treasure is there also is your heart,” he cut short a bit his speaking. He was informed by God that the soul of the deceased was to be condemned to hell, due to his excessive love of money and his much usury. And when he continued to speak he intensified his volume, and said: “That rich man died and was buried in hell. Depart and go; and open the box where his money was stored; and there you will discover his heart.” The acquaintances and relatives of the dead man were frightened and astounded; but they went there to his house; and with their own eyes saw the truth of the saint’s words. The heart of the man was beating there in the midst of the money.

When he exhorted in countless cities, he fixed his abode in Padua with a special love as if it were his own land.

When Lent arrived, he frequently preached; but he was wasted away with the dropsy. The devil was jealous of the good works of Saint Anthony; and he began to try to kill him. One night it happened that his face was revealed, and he attacked and tried to hang him. That is why Saint Anthony called out loudly to Holy Mary who is stronger than a squadron of soldiers, and he spoke to her that most favorite of hymns: O Gloriosa Domina: O Glorious Lady. But the moment he sang those words, he was left alone by the devil who fled before the spotless Virgin the way darkness scatters before the light. Mary made known to Saint Anthony that she was with him by his side, because his interior was filled with the brightness of heaven.

Many wonders followed that which were greater and more majestic.

O wonderful and triumphant Saint Anthony of Padua the Miracle Maker! Truly you are praiseworthy and wonderful when your power to perform miracles was manifest, and when God’s special graces to you were revealed. I rejoice in the favor of God to your soul in exalting you similar to the power of the Angelic Powers. I pray to you that you humble me in my works which I do for the glory of God: for that is the lowliness of my soul as miracles were true and wonderful in you.

Defend me also now in my weakness and again at my death. Obtain for me from our Lord God the grace I desire in this novena, if it be for your greater glory and the good of my soul. Amen.

The Deeds of Saint Anthony of Padua

There was a very bright and insolent heretic who, though advised and encouraged by Saint Anthony, did not believe that Jesus Christ dwelt in the Sacrament of the Altar under the appearance of bread and wine. The Christian soul who is humble and believing believes in the Word of God which is said to him. But that heretic was not persuaded by the Word of God; and he wanted the Sacrament to be proven to him. The saint had pity on his faithless and hardened heart; and said to the man: “If your horse adores Jesus Christ who is in the Sacred Host under the appearance of bread, will you also believe the Most Holy Sacrament, as Holy Church teaches?” The heretic was enticed by that question of Saint Anthony. So he answered: “I will not feed my horse for two days, and on the third day I will bring it to the square before the people; and on its side when it is already hungry I will place the food which he likes, and on the other side you and the Host which you say the Body of Christ is. If the horse will not eat its food, and kneels before the Host, I will declare with all my soul the truth of the Sacrament.”

Saint Anthony indulged the mockery of the heretic. But he also let him know that if the horse did not kneel before the Sacred Host, it meant nothing; except that it he was not worthy to be shown that special wonder by God. According to their agreement, he did not feed his horse anything for two days. And on the third day he took it on the road before the crowd; on its side he was shown the food that he liked, and there also Saint Anthony showed it the monstrance of the Sacred Host where Jesus Christ was. Before the crowd of people who were watching there, the horse left its food, walked gently towards the adorable Host; and when it got to the side of Saint Anthony, it bent its knee and knelt down. And it didn’t rise until the Miracle Worker signaled it to rise. When the heretic saw the amazing miracle, he was convinced he had been wrong.

Most exalted Saint Anthony of Padua! You govern the souls of the people, as do the Angelic Dominions.

Prayer to the Immaculate Conception

Most holy Queen and sinless Virgin Mary! You were saved by God from original sin, and you were able to become the good mother of His only Son who became man in your most pure womb. I beseech you, sinless Virgin and most blessed among women, that you render me forgiven by your divine Son of my great evils; and have my name written in the Book of Life where the names of those chosen by God are inscribed; and that I will be able to obtain the eternal blessedness of heaven which I await through your prayers.

Beg from Jesus Christ also that he exalt his Name, that heresies and heretics be wiped away, that the demons be conquered, that we be kept in peace and that Christian leaders be reconciled. If this should be, then we shall soon see the glory of God and his rule over the earth, and his joyful countenance in heaven. He who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

The Deeds of Saint Anthony of Padua

There were heretics near Padua, who were mocking the preaching of Saint Antony. One day the saint prayed a little: and left for the river which circled near the city; and when he made his cry louder so that the crowd of people could hear him well, he told those heretics: “You who refuse to listen to the Word of God. I will preach to the fish; and you will be humiliated for your lack of faith.”

And he turned his face quickly toward the sea; and he began to preach to the fish with all his heart. And he told them how good God was in creating them out of nothing, when they were given their place in the wide and open sea where they could swim wherever they wanted and eat a variety of foods.

When Saint Anthony spoke, the fish gathered at his side, rising and intently watching the preacher. At the conclusion the holy apostle blessed them; then they left.

One day while the saint was walking in the city, he stayed in the house of a lord who have him a separate bedroom where he could comfortably pray alone. When Saint Anthony prayed inside his room, he saw that he was surrounded by heavenly glory. O divine vision! A most beautiful child white as snow was held in the hands of Saint Anthony, as if it were a dream, with unspeakable joy he embraced and pressed him to his breast, covering him with kisses. Jesus was like the morning glory of the jungle and the lily of the garden. Who can speak of the joy of that soul most united to God when he saw and embraced God who is eternal holiness? What could have been the sweet fulness and satisfaction and joy of that loving heart, as soon as it settled in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ?

The Deeds of Saint Anthony of Padua

It was revealed to Saint Anthony that his death was not far off; and he strove to depart from the company of others. He informed the superiors and went to the forest of San Piero. When he came to the forest, he saw in its midst a large tree, luxuriant with long branches that gave shade. And he chose that for his place; and he made there a shelter made from woven branches for him to stay.

On the thirtieth of May, fifteen days before he died, the saint stayed atop a hill where he could oversee Padua. And there, like most holy Francis of Assisi, he wanted to bless his beloved land Padua. And when he fixed his gaze and pined for his beloved city, he turned to his companions, and told them of his unending happiness that that city would be given in the coming years the praise of his having stayed there. His companions heard his word; but it didn’t come to their minds what he meant by them, until they saw after Saint Anthony had died that the saint’s earlier words had come true.

Saint Anthony was used to coming down from his place and eating a little in order to strengthen his sickly body. But there were days when he tried to go down, and he soon became sick and fell into the arms of his brethren. That is why they placed him on a bed of grass. But he became worse; and he was taken to Padua. They feared he would die and he was placed at the friary of Arcella, where he was fed with the Bread of the Angeles, the Sacred Host; and when he had prayed a little he sang his beloved and favorite hymn: “O Glorious Lady.”

When that was finished, he prayed interiorly; and he looked at a brightness no one else could see. And he murmured heavenly sayings. The friars who accompanied him there wanted to know what he saw; and they asked him: “What are you looking at?” Saint Anthony smiled and sweetly said: “I see my Lord.”

After he had been anointed by the priest, the saint for almost half an hour with those in heaven. And he died sweetly and his soul flew without constraints of the body over to the bosom of our Lord God.

It was as if he was asleep, his flesh was emaciated, supple: his eyes expressed something of a smile. Truly he obtained heaven and was a saint. He died on the thirteenth of June in 1231 when he was thirty-six years of age.

As soon as he died, the small children in Padua cried out among the people saying: “The saint is dead, the saint is dead.”

Prayer

O brilliant Saint Anthony of Padua who was made most intelligent by God in the exalted knowledge of heaven, as he made the eighth choir of angels who are called the Cherubim.

I rejoice in your greatness, when I see you in the midst of the wise who marvel at your wisdom and prudence, and call you, “THE LIVING ARK OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.”

Obtain for me the divine Knowledge, which is the True Sun Jesus Christ, that it may illumine my mind; and I will know what is good and what is evil. And I will be able to follow what pleases God. Defend me now in my weakness and again at my death; and grant me what I ask in this novena if it be for the glory of God and the good of my soul. Amen.

Prayer to the Immaculate Conception

Most holy Queen and sinless Virgin Mary! You were saved by God from original sin, and you were able to become the good mother of His only Son who became man in your most pure womb. I beseech you, sinless Virgin and most blessed among women, that you render me forgiven by your divine Son of my great evils; and have my name written in the Book of Life where the names of those chosen by God are inscribed; and that I will be able to obtain the eternal blessedness of heaven which I await through your prayers.

Beg from Jesus Christ also that he exalt his Name, that heresies and heretics be wiped away, that the demons be conquered, that we be kept in peace and that Christian leaders be reconciled. If this should be, then we shall soon see the glory of God and his rule over the earth, and his joyful countenance in heaven. He who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

It is wondrous for us to behold
The waves are calmed down;
Illness and demons
Flee from their places.

For abundant in all the earth

And the poor, if he lacks food,

Tres Tatan-måme …
Lord God, Lord of the Seraphim who love you with intense and burning love! I bring here today the good acts of those angels and the works of your servant Saint Anthony of Padua who loved you more than the love the Seraphim had for you. He was like a true Seraphim on earth, he did difficult and burdensome acts which glorified your Hoy Name among the people. He made you known and loved among those who did not know God and who offended God day and night.

I pray to you, Lord, that you deepen my love for you; and that love alone will make me strive to bring people to a holy love of you. Grant me also the grace which I desire in this novena, if it be for the glory of God and the good of my soul. Amen.

The Deeds of Saint Anthony of Padua

The body of Saint Anthony remained unburied for four days, and this elated the people who came from far places. His burial which occurred the Tuesday following his death, on the 17th of the month of June, was not done like burials were are familiar with, but like that of a true public holiday. On that day, no one who prayed or besought Saint Anthony was left abandoned; all were given what they asked for. That is how the Thirteen Tuesdays of Saint Anthony began. He who confesses and receives Holy Communion for thirteen Tuesdays, if he prays to God for the Holy Father, will gain a Plenary Indulgence each Tuesday he does it. One can also do the THIRTEEN CONSECUTIVE SUNDAYS.

On April 8, 1263 the bones of Saint Anthony were taken to the beautiful altar made for him. Saint Bonaventure supervised the transfer of the bones. And when he opened the crate where the body of Saint Anthony was reserved, he saw and also took to the people who were going there his body which had become ash, but his tongue did not decay but stayed fresh and red as is the tongue of a living person.

Saint Bonaventure was overjoyed; he kissed the tongue with great respect and wonder; and he spoke those resounding words: “O glorious tongue which glorified God without end, and who made others glorify God. Now it is clearly evident that you are very precious before God!”
