*SATURDAY 02/07/2022*
*MEDITATION*
Ephesians 6:23- May God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ grant peace, love and
faith to all the brothers.
Philippians 4:7- and the peace of God which is beyond our understanding will guard
your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
*In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.*
*Act of Contrition*
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins
because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God,
Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of
Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of Sin. Amen
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of
your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew
the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the
faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy
His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
*Hail Mary*
I salute you, St. Anthony, lily of purity, ornament and glory of Christianity.
I salute you, great Saint, cherub of wisdom and seraph of divine love. I rejoice at
the favors Our Lord has so liberally bestowed on you.
In humility and confidence I entreat you to help me, for I know that God has given
you charity and compassion, as well as power.
I ask you, by the love you felt toward the Holy Infant Jesus as you held Him in
your arms, to tell Him now of the favors I seek through your intercession.
*DAY 8 - PRAYERS*
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
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.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
V. St. Anthony, pray for us. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of
Christ.
*Let Us Pray,*
O my God, may the pious commemoration of St. Anthony, your Confessor and Proctor,
give joy to your Church, that she may ever be strengthened with your spiritual
assistance and merit to attain everlasting joy. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Father God, I thank you for being the head of my life and I thank you for the
spouse that you have given me to love and cherish for the rest of my life on this
earth. Right now I am hurting and broken from the disconnect in our marriage.
I feel alone and I don’t understand how we could have gotten to this place. Please
help me to understand my spouse and the situation and to recognize the plan of the
enemy to destroy our marriage and our family. I humbly ask that you restore love,
joy and peace in our household. Help us to glorify your name by loving one another
and letting forgiveness flow.
I pray that we would both aim to love and care for each other more than we hurt
each other, and forgive quickly when we don’t. Give us strength in our weakest
moments and guide us in all things. I pray for your wisdom, knowledge and
understanding to reign in our lives at all times. In your son’s Jesus mighty name,
Amen.
*In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.*
