Novena prayer to St.Anthony

O wonderful St.Anthony, God has given you to the whole Church as an outstanding preacher of God's Word and as a ready helper in time of need.
By your powerful intercession and assistance, may we follow the Gospel of Christ in our daily lives, in our families and in our communities, and know the help of your grace in every difficulty and hardship.
You were so compassionate towards those in misery and pain; make me also sensitive, so that like you I too may reach out to those sick, in misery and pain.
O Loving St.Anthony, be a source of joy to your people and obtain for me the favours and graces that I need to live my Christian life with fervour and charity
(PRAY FOR YOUR INTENTION)
But in all things may God's Holy will be done and everything for his greater glory.
Amen.

Pray for us St.Anthony.

Amen.

St.Anthony, Pray for us.
