St. Anthony Novena - Day 8

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. O wonderful St. Anthony, glorious on account of the fame of your miracles, and through the grace 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, (mention request here…) 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 my request which I now ask for with persevering earnestness. Amen One Our Father, One Hail Mary, and Glory Be to the Father, in honor of Saint Anthony. O holy St. Anthony, thou hast shown thyself so powerful in thine intercession, so tender and so compassionate towards those who honor thee and invoke thee in suffering and distress. I beseech thee most humbly and earnestly to take me under thy protection in my present necessities and to obtain for me the favor I desire . . . . Recommend my request to the merciful Queen of Heaven, that she may plead my cause with thee before the throne of her Divine Son. May the Divine assistance remain always with us. Amen. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. O God, may the votive commemoration of blessed Anthony, Thy confessor, be a source of joy to Thy Church, that she may always be fortified with spiritual assistance, and deserve to enjoy eternal rewards. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
