IMPRIMATUR:

JVnt^ong of ^Jaiuta

Next to the Blessed Virgin and St.

Joseph there is scarcely another Saint

more universally honored than St.

Anthony ofJPadua. “St. Anthony does

not belong to the city of Padua alone,

He is a Saint of the whole world.”

Leo XIII. St. Anthony was born in

Lisbon, Portugal, on the 15th of

August, 1195. The name Ferdinand

was given him in Baptism. At a ten-

der age he began to manifest signs of

great piety. His mother, a true Chris-

tian woman, fostered in his heart de-

votion to the Blessed Virgin and took

special delight in teaching him to

sing the beautiful hymn “0 Gloriosa

Domina.” On her tombstone are en-

graved these words “Here Lies The

Mother of St. Anthony.” At the age

of fifteen he entered the order of St.

Augustine. In the year 1220 the re-

mains of five Franciscans, who had

died for the faith in Morocco, were

brought to the convent of the Holy

Cross in Combra, where Ferdinand

was at that time. At the sight of the

Holy Martyrs he felt an irresistible

impulse to enter the order of the

Franciscans. Having obtained the

reluctant permission of his superior,

he joined the Franciscans, changing

his name Ferdinand to that of An-

thony. After his novitiate the su-



perior complied with his request, and

sent him to the African Missions,

where he expected to gain the crown

of Martyrdom. Sickness, however,

compelled him to return to Spain, but

overtaken by a violent storm, he

was cast on the shores of Sicily. For

nearly a year he remained in solitude

unknown to the world. When a short
time afterwards, his superiors dis-

covered the wonderful gifts which had

been bestowed by God upon Anthony,

St. Francis commanded him to devote

his life, henceforth to the spread of

the Gospel. He traversed the north

of Italy, and the south of France, and

almost invariably preached in the

open fields, as the churches could not

contain the immense throngs, that

crowded to hear him. A year before
his death, he returned to Padua. One

day the Saint was granted an extra-

ordinary blessing, the Divine Infant

especially favoring Him with His em-
braces; and He is therefore generally

represented with the Infant Savior,

on His arms. He died June 13, 1231.

To know him, means to love him.

He seems to have unlimited access to

the Treasures of God’s Graces, and

bountifully dispenses them, to all who

are in need, be this need spiritual or

temporal. The people love St. An-

thony. Everywhere churches arise in



— 3 —
his honor, and shrines invite devotion

to him. He is one of the few Saints,

to whom Almighty God has entrusted
a goodly share of His Power of work-

ing Miracles. He is called the Won-

der-Worker on account of the extra-

ordinary gift of Miracles, by which

God favored him in life, and after

death, even to the present day. He is

the restorer of lost things, both tem-

poral and spiritual; he advances the

temporal, and still more the Eternal

interest of his clients. A confident
prayer to St. Anthony usually brings

results.

St. Anthony became the glory of his-

Order; he was called the Ark of the
Covenant, by the Sovereign Pontiff,

for his knowledge of Holy Scripture;

Hammer of Heretics, for his apostolic
zeal; and so famous for sanctity was
he, that he was canonized less than a
year after his death by Pope Gregory

IX.

ST ANTHONY, whom the Infant
Jesus so much loved and honored,
grant us what we ask of thee.

ST. ANTHONY, powerful in word
and work, grant us what we ask of
thee.

ST. ANTHONY, attentive to those



— 4 —
who invoke thee, grant us what we

ask of thee.

Prayer to St. Anthony for
Peace of Mind

St. Anthony, most dear and faithful

servant of Christ, to whom God has
granted such favors, that through thy

intercession, lost temporal goods are

recovered, pray for me, a sinner, that

I may acquire, and preserve peace of
mind, with light and knowledge to

discern good from evil, and truth from

error, so that being delivered from all

evil, scruples, darkness, and uneasi-

ness of mind and conscience, I may
faithfully serve my God and Savior,
who is worthy of all honor, and glory,

with peace of mind, purity of con-

science, and justice of life. Through

Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

ST. ANTHONY, beloved of God and
Man, Pray for us.

Another Prayer to St.
Anthony

St. Anthony thou Comforter of the

afflicted, who hast through thy whole

life, labored and endured so much for

the honor of God, and even now dost

not cease to pray for those, that call

upon thee, I come, full of confidence,

to thee, and recommend all my needs
and distresses to thee, through thy

powerful intercession. Thou Great



— 5 —
Saint of God, rescue me from all dan-

gers, which menace my soul, that it
may not perish for eternity; help me

to be truly sorry for my sins, to con-
trol my passions, to root out all my
evil inclinations, especially this one

. Pray for

me, that I may be filled with a holy
zeal for God’s honor, and thy hatred

against sin, that I may imitate thy
chaste, loving and humble heart; if it

is for my good, obtain this temporal
favor for me
Bring consolation, rest and peace unto

my soul which sighs under heavy
tribulations, and cease not to be mind-

ful of me at the throne of God, until
together with thee, I will praise our

Infinite, Kind and Merciful Father for

all eternity. Amen.

The Miraculous Responsory of
St. Anthony of Padua

If miracles thou fain would’st see;

Lo! error, death, calamity,

The leprous stain, the demon flies,

From beds of pain the sick arise.

The hungry seas forego their prey,

The prisoner’s cruel chains give way:

While palsied limbs and treasures lost

Both young and old recovered boast.

And perils perish, plenty’s hoard
Is heaped on hunger’s famished board:



-— 6 —
Let those relate, who know it well,

Let Padua of her Patron tell.

The hungry seas, etc.

To Father, Son, may glory be,
And Holy Ghost, eternally.

The hungry seas, etc.

Pray for us, St. Anthony.

That we may be made worthy of the
promises of Christ.

Let Us Pray

O God! let the votive comrtiemora-
tion of Blessed Anthony, Thy Confes-

sor, be a source of joy to Thy Church,

that she may always be fortified with
spiritual assistance, and may deserve

our Lord. Amen.

friend of God, I salute thee through

the most loving Heart of our Divine

Origin of the Novena of the
Nine Tuesdays

It was on Friday that St. Anthony

of Padua died, but, on account of the

numerous miracles that were perform-

ed by touching his body, the burial



— 8 —
was delayed until the following Tues-

day. On this day the wonders were

greater and far more numerous than

on any of the preceding days, there-

fore, with love and gratitude for the

favors that had been bestowed upon

them, the people dedicated every Tues-

day to him, as being the day God was

pleased to show forth his power.

This was strengthened by a re-

markable occurrence which took place

at Bologna in the year 1617. St. An-

thony appeared to a noted lady of

that city, who had besought him to

obtain for her a certain favor, and

said to her; “Visit my image in the
church of St. Francis on Nine Tues-

days and thou shalt be heard.” She

followed faithfully the direction,

which had been given to her by the

Saint, and obtained her request.

This apparition was made known

by the Friars Minor of St. Francis,

and the devotion of the Nine Tues-

days was propagated by them in vari-

ous countries.

St. BonaVenture, a great Doctor of

the Church, declares that all miracu-

lous graces may be obtained through
the intercession of St. Anthony of

Padua, namely, for the restoration of

lost or stolen things, the recovery of

health in all kinds of sickness, and

for a knowledge of the will of God in

the choice of a vocation, or the suc-

cess of an undertaking.



It would be impossible to enumerate

the many wonderful graces and bless-

ings that God has showered down

upon those who have performed this

devotion with a true confidence in St.

Anthony. Scarce any one can be

found who, if he or she did not receive

what was requested, has not received

some spiritual favor far more pre-

cious.

The following indulgences are

granted to those who perform the

devotion of the Nine Tuesdays:

1. A plenary indulgence is granted
to all the faithful who visit a Church

in honor of St. Anthony on one of the

Nine Tuesdays immediately preceding

the feast of St. Anthony (June 13)

and fulfill the usual conditions.—Pope
Benedict XIV, May 7, 1751.

2. On any other Tuesday of the

year an indulgence of seven years and

seven quarantines. — Pope Benedict
XIV, May 7, 1751.

3. A plenary indulgence each Tues-
day to those who visit a church dur-
ing the Exposition of the Most Ador-

able Sacrament, and fulfill the re-

quired conditions.—Pope Clement XIV,
May 25, 1770.

How to Make the Novena of
Nine Tuesdays

Visit a church or an altar or a pic-

ture of the Saint each Tuesday.



— 1ft —
Say your prayers there, in honor of

the Saint.

Go to confession and communion

during the Novena.

In the meantime, if your means

allow it, make some offering in honor

of the Saint for the intentions of the

Novena.

Be thankful when your prayers are

heard and resigned if not, firmly be-

lieving that God will give you some-

thing better than what you asked for.

Note.—Should you not like to make
the Novena of Nine Tuesdays, then

make it on nine continuous days like

any other Novena, by saying your

prayers in honor of St. Anthony for

nine days at home or at some church.

Prayers for the Novena of the
Nine Tuesdays

In Honor of St. Anthony of Padua

PREPARATORY PRAYER
In the name of the Father and of

the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

O Almighty and Eternal God! the en-
tire world is filled with the praise of

Thy faithful servant, Anthony, through

Thy most adorable will; and the great

and wondrous works which Thou hast

accomplished through his instrumen-

tality, are everywhere proclaimed.

When Thy only son, Jesus, deigned to
come down from heaven into his arms.

Thou didst proclaim to all Thy special



— 11 —
delight in imparting Thy divine grace

to .the world through Thy holy ser-

vant. Hence we prostrate ourselves

in Thy divine presence, and honor the

image of this great saint. In a spirit

of profound humility we adore Thee,

and dare to lay our necessity before

Thee, through him, confident that

Thou wilt graciously hear our peti-

tion, should it be conducive to the

welfare of our souls. We confess that
the number of our misdeeds renders

us unworthy in Thy sight; but we re-

pent with our whole heart of having

ever offended Thee, the most high and

adorable good, and we firmly resolve

never more to outrage Thy infinite

Majesty with the heart-felt hope that

Thou wilt not permit repentant and

contrite hearts to depart from Thy

throne of grace unheard.

But should we, on account of our

daily failings, be still displeasing in

Thy sight, and thus place a hindrance

to the graces we hope for, we then

turn to thee, 0 glorious and chosen
servant of God, blessed St. Anthony!

and beseech thee through the love of

the sweet Infant Jesus, Whom thou
didst bear in thy arms, and thy holy

communings with Him, that thou wilt

lend us the piety of thy heart and the

power of thy blessed and incorruptible

tongue during these devotions, so

that, with thy holy heart and blessed

incorruptible tongue, we may love



— 12 —

Jesus all the more ardently, praise

God more zealously and through thee

obtain our petition at the throne of

grace. Amen.

Pray for us, St. Anthony!

That we may be made worthy of
the promises of Christ.

Prayer for the First Tuesday
0 generous protector, St. Anthony!

who through thy powerful interces-

sion at the throne of God, hast even

raised the dead to life, we fly to Thee

for refuge, and, kneeling before thy

altar, beseech thee that thou wilt

awaken our souls, whicSh are dead

through our many offenses from the

death of mortal sin to the life of

Divine grace, and preserve us therein

so that when we leave this mortal

life, we may enter into the joys of
eternal life. Amen.

Prayer for the Second Tuesday
O zealous apostle, St. Anthony!

thou who enlightenst those who walk

blindly among the mazes of error, we

humbly remind thee of that seraphic

zeal for souls, which continually

burned in thy heart, so that thou wast

ever ready to endure every conceiv-

able pain in order to lead back the

erring to the path of the true faith,

and we beseech thee, through this zeal



— 13 —
which is so pleasing to God, and

through thy consuming desire to extir-

pate all error from Christendom, to

guide our poor souls from the erring

path of sin to the way of God’s com-

mandments and true virtue, so that we

may not wander from the path that
leads to true happiness. Amen.

The Responsory of St. Anthony:

One Our Father and One Hail Mary.

Prayer for the Third Tuesday
0 blessed St. Anthony! compas-

sionate comforter! thou dost help all

Christians who sigh to thee, in their

sorrow and distress. Wherefore we

come to thee in our misery and afflic-

tion with childish confidence in thee,

and with afflicted hearts, reveal to

thee our deep misery, and humbly be-

seech thee that thou wilt lay it before

the throne of God, and earnestly pray

for our speedy relief. We are not in-
deed, worthy of thy assistance as we
have so often and so grievously of-

fended God, but we nevertheless hope

in the goodness which thou hast

shown to so many afflicted hearts,
and trust that thou wilt not deny thy

fatherly aid to us, thy unworthy chil-

dren, but that thou wilt continue to

pray for us at the throne of grace,

till we, like so many others, are freed
from all misery and affliction. Amen,

The Responsory of St. Anthony:

One Our Father and One Hail Mary.



— 14 —

Prayer for the Fourth Tuesday

O St. Anthony! invincible con-
queror of the evil spirit, thou knowest

and we feel, alas! how persistently

the evil one seeks to ensnare our

souls, and how he goes around like a

roaring lion seeking whom he may
devour. Hence our poor souls are in

perpetual danger of being lost through

his evil cunning. But as God hath

graciously vouchsafed to thee on ac-

count of thy great merits such power

over the evil spirit, we earnestly im-

plore thee to preserve us against

these numerous and dangerous snares

of the enemy, so that we may not
yield to them, but, through thy inter-

cession, escape his deceit and wiles,

and avoid the punishment of hell and

be made sharers in eternal happiness.

Amen.

The Responsory of St. Anthony:

One Our Father and One Hail Mary.

Prayer for the Fifth Tuesday

Blessed St. Anthony! heavenly

physician of body and soul, how many

hast thou miraculously restored to the

health they desired! When all human
aid was powerless in bodily sickness

thou hast lent thy aid and listened to

the petitions of the afflicted. Hence

we, too, hope for comfort and freedom

from our bodily afflictions, well

knowing that thou canst and wilt help



— 15 —
us; for thou art now in heaven a

powerful intercessor with Christ, who

will lay our necessity before the

throne of God and who can and will

obtain for us the request we seek.

But should this request not be in ac-

cordance with the will of God or be

against the welfare of our souls we

do not desire it, but we beg and hope

that thou wilt obtain for us from God

another grace that may be more con-
ducive to our eternal salvation. Amen.

The Responsory of St. Anthony:

One Our Father and One Hail Mary .

Prayer for the Sixth Tuesday

Blessed St. Anthony! thou hast

gloriously stilled the raging sea, and

miraculously rescued captives from

their chains. Numbers of men have

been in imminent danger of being

swallowed up by the sea, or were con-

demned to a shameful death, when

having placed their hope or safety in

thee, they were rescued from their

dangers, to praise thy name ever

after before the world, and unceasing-

ly thank God for their deliverance.

We are not, indeed, placed in like dan-
gers; still we invoke thy aid, O blessed
Saint, as the world is a stormy and

dangerous sea, where we are every

moment liable to suffer shipwreck of
soul, where there are many sins,
chains and bands wherewith the evil



— 16 —
spirit binds our souls. Come then to

our aid and abandon us not. Rescue

us from every danger, and place us in

the freedom of the children of God, so

that in this world, we may praise thy
glorious power and praise God for-

ever in the next. Amen.

The Responsory of St. Anthony:

One Our Father and One Hail Mary .

Prayer for the Seventh Tuesday

0 generous friend of God, blessed

St. Anthony, thou who has restored

sight to numbers of the blind who

sought thy assistance, hearing to the

deaf and the use of their limbs to the

halt and lame, behold, we are wholly

blind of soul, and realize the hateful-

ness of sin; we are deaf and hear not

the word of God and His eternal

truths, we are lame and walk not in

the path of virtue. In these most

dangerous of maladies, we lift our

eyes to thee in heaven, and beseech

thee to teach us to recognize the hate-

fulness of our sins! to enable us to

walk steadfastly in the path of virtue,

to obtain the perfection conformable

to our state in life, and finally to at-

tain eternal happiness. Amen.

The Responsory of St. Anthony:

One Our Father and One Hail Mary .

Prayer for the Eighth Tuesday

thou hast restored through thy pow-

their lost gold and treasure, honor,

office and dignity, so do we fly to thee

tercessor, and humbly implore thee to

listen to all afflicted souls that invoke

it carefully till death. Amen.

Prayer for the Ninth Tuesday

0 powerful father and protector in

all necessities, St. Anthony! thou

knowest and seest that the world, the

flesh and the devil fill the life of man
with dangerous pitfalls, and so beset

him on his pilgrimage that even the

just man is liable to fall seven times

a day. Sighing over this unhappy lot

we bow before thy holy image, and

beseech thee to deign to be not only

our protector amid so many dangers
of body and soul, but our guide also,

so that we may escape the cunning
snares of the evil one, and finally,

under thy holy guidance, arrive where

we shall no longer fear danger, but

rejoice in eternal happiness. Amen.

All in heav’n above adore Tee:

Infinite Thy vast domain

Everlasting is Thy Name.

Hark! the loud celestial hymn,

Angel choirs above are raising,

Cherubim and Seraphim

In unceasing chorus praising:;

Fill the heav’ns with sweet accord:

Holy! Holy! Holy Lord!
