You have probably noticed this statue of a monk holding the child Jesus in Catholic churches all over the world.
Well, St. Anthony is often depicted holding the child Jesus in his
arms. Some say that he is depicted this way because of his great
devotion to the mystery of the Incarnation, a topic he preached about
often.
So, let us pray today for a greater understanding of and appreciation for the mystery of the incarnation!
Here are the prayers for today:
Day 3 - Saint Anthony Novena Prayers
O holy St. Anthony, you are known for the power and abundance of
your miracles. Jesus came into your arms as a humble little child. Pray
for me to the Child Jesus for my needs and desires...
(Mention your intentions)
In imitation of our Lord, you have great mercy and compassion for
sinners. Pay no attention to my worthiness, but instead ask God to show
His glory through the answer of my requests.
St. Anthony, you cooperated with the grace of God in a radical way
with your life. You gave everything to Christ and to your neighbor. Your
life glorified God!
You are an example of holiness that I will try to follow.
You are in heaven praising God with a particular closeness to the
King of Kings. With your seat of honor, please beg God to both answer my
request and bring me to eternal rest with you.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be to the Father...
Saint Anthony, pray for us!
Amen.
