St. Anthony, you are glorious for your miracles and for the condescension of Jesus Who came as a little child to lie in your arms. Obtain for me from His bounty the grace which I ardently desire. You were so compassionate toward sinners, do not regard my unworthiness. Let the glory of God be magnified by you in connection with the particular request that I earnestly present to you.

[State your request here.]

As a pledge of my gratitude, I promise to live more faithfully in accordance with the teachings of the Church, and to be devoted to the service of the poor whom you loved and still love so greatly. Bless this resolution of mine that I may be faithful to it until death.

St. Anthony, consoler of all the afflicted, pray for me.

St. Anthony, helper of all who invoke you, pray for me.

St. Anthony, whom the Infant Jesus loved and honored so much, pray for me. Amen.

while framing my question i simultaneously viewed another window and caught something, lorenz.  the word does exist for things spiritual...

The condescension of the Savior may be traced back to premortal life, where He “was like unto God” (Abraham 3:24), and compared with God’s other spirit offspring, Christ was “more intelligent than they all” (3:19). Elder Neal A. Maxwell of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained, “In intelligence and performance, He far surpasses the individual and the composite capacities and achievements of all who have lived, live now, and will yet live!”[1] With no other premortal individual worthy or able to open the way of salvation for a mortal world (see Revelation 5:1–6), Jesus, the Lamb of God, volunteered, “Here am I, send me” (Abraham 3:27). Only He could fulfill the conditions required for the infinite Atonement. (http://rsc.byu.edu/)

thanks again, lorenz.  i will no longer agonize over this word.

Nine Day Novena to Saint Anthony of Padua

Opening Prayer:

O wonderful St. Anthony,
glorious on account of the fame of your miracles,
and through the condescension of Jesus
in coming in the form of a little child to rest in your arms,
obtain for me of His bounty the grace
which I ardently desire from the depths of my heart.
(State your intention)
You who were so compassionate toward miserable sinners,
regard not the unworthiness of those who pray to you,
but the glory of God that it may once again
be magnified by the granting of the particular request
(State your intention)
which I now ask for with persevering earnestness.
Amen.

Pray: 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, 1 Glory Be to the Father

Saint Anthony, pray for us!



DAY ONE


O holy St. Anthony,
gentlest of saints,
your love for God and charity for his creatures
made you worthy while on earth
to possess miraculous powers.
Miracles waited your word,
which you were ever ready to speak
for those in trouble or anxiety.
Encouraged by this thought,
I implore you to obtain for me
the favor I seek in this novena
(State your intention).
The answer to my prayer
may require a miracle;
even so,
you are the saint of miracles.
O gentle and loving Saint Anthony,
whose heart was ever
full of human sympathy,
whisper my petition into
the ears of the Infant Jesus,
who loved to be folded in your arms,
and the gratitude of my heart
will always be yours.

Pray: 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, 1 Glory Be to the Father

Saint Anthony, pray for us!

 Dear Saint Anthony, it is still as Saint Peter said: The devil prowls about, lion-like, looking for someone to devour. I confess that I don't always resist him; I sometimes toy with temptation. Saint Anthony, Disperser of Devils, remind me of my duty to avoid all occasions of sin. May I always pray in temptation that I may remain loyal to my Lord Jesus. Pray for my other intentions, please.
