Novena Prayer
in honor of
Saint Anthony
If, then, you ask for miracles, death, error, all calamities, the leprosy and demons fly, and health succeeds infirmities.
The sea obeys, and fetters break, and lifeless limbs thou dost restore, while treasures lost are found again, when young and old thine aid implore.
All dangers vanish at thy prayer and direst need doth quickly flee; let those who know thy power proclaim, let Paduans say these are of thee.
The sea obeys, and fetters break, and lifeless limbs thou dost restore, while treasures lost are found again, when young and old thine aid implore.
May Glory to the Father be, and to the Son eternally, and to the Spirit in essence One, in Persons three, be honor done.
The sea obeys, and fetters break, and lifeless limbs thou dost restore, while treasures lost are found again, when young and old thine aid implore.
