Prayer to the Saints whose relics are enshrined by Fr. James R. Orr. Nihil Obstat: Dr. James Gretz: Published with the ecclesiastical approbation of the Most Rev. David A. Zubik, D.D., Bishop of Pittsburgh: given Nov. 1, 2014 The Thirteen Tuesdays: the History of the Tradition Saint Anthony died on Friday, June 13, 1231, and was buried on the following Tuesday, June 17. Tradition states that Anthony’s funeral procession became a triumphal celebration in light of the many great miracles which took place. On that day, the blind saw, the deaf heard, the mute spoke, and cripples walked again. All those who called upon the name of Anthony received God’s help and mercy. In gratitude for these many signs and wonders, the faithful have since set aside each Tuesday to honor the saint. through the centuries, crowds have gathered at his tomb espe‐ cially on Tuesdays, and the faithful of Padua profess that what‐ ever is asked of God through Saint Anthony on this day will be granted. The practice of Tuesday devotion spread widely in Italy and other parts of Europe, and gained momentum in the years to come. In 1617, a noble woman of Bologna sought a particular favor from God through the intercession of Saint Anthony, Her prayer was that she and her husband might be blessed with chil‐ dren. One night, the saint appeared to her in a dream and said, “Visit my shrine in the church of the Franciscans for nine Tuesdays, and your prayers will be heard.” After follwing this directive, the woman’s prayer was answered. News of this blessing received through prayer spread far, and the practice of nine Tuesdays’ devotion traveled with it. Eventually the number of Tuesdays was increased to thirteen, commemorating the date of Saint Anthony’s death. A plenary indulgence is granted in any church on any Tuesday or Sunday of the year if one performs some prayerful devotion there in honor of Saint Anthony, with the intention of continu‐ ing this devotion for thirteen Tuesdays or Sundays. The follow‐ ing conditions are recommended each time: sacramental recon‐ ciliation, reception of the Holy Eucharist, and prayer for the intentions of the Pope. This devotion has traditionally been cel‐ ebrated communally here at Most Holy Name Parish on the thirteen Tuesdays preceding the feast of Saint Anthony. 1 Hymn to Saint Anthony Verse 1: How good it is, O glorious Saint, In these our troubled days, To look upon your holy life. Your kind and gentle ways. How good it is in hour of need, to call upon your name, And find compassion ever there, Your love always the same. Refrain: O comforter, Saint Anthony, Before the Lord we pray: Your love and faith inspire us now, To live the gospel way. Novena Prayers Prayer to Saint Anthony Beloved Anthony of Padua, Doctor of the Gospel, light of the Church, true follower of Saint Francis of Assisi, help us to have a true and solid devotion to you, following the example of your life in the work of God and His people. Hold before us the holy scrip‐ tures, the source of your Wisdom, and be to us a teacher of the ways of God and the gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Help us to cultivate the love of God in our hearts. then, as you said, the King of Kings will rule over us and cleanse our hearts from sin and selfishness, and we shall love our neighbor as you taught. May your 2 spirit of prayer and chastity make us faithful to the vows of our Baptism, the vows of our religious life. Be an apostle and teacher to the people of our time, that we may live the Gospel of Christ with you, spreading the spirit of that Gospel to all men and women. Pray that the spirit of Christian love and unity may fill all the people of God, and bring all His children together again as one flock with one shepherd. Amen. Prayer for Special Favors Dear Saint Anthony, one of the gentlest and kindest of saints, your love for God and virtue and charity toward your fellow man made you worthy on earth to exercise miraculous powers. Nothing was impossible for you. Encourged by this thought, we ask you to obtain for us the special favors we seek at this time. (Silent pause for petitions) O kind and holy wonder‐worker, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, present our petitions for these favors sought through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Prayer for Restoration of What has been lost O blessed Saint Anthony, the grace of God has made you a powerful intercessor in all our needs, and the patron for the restoration of things lost or stolen. To you I turn today with heartfelt confidence. 3 You are a counselor of the confused, comforter of the troubled, healer of the sick, refuge of the fallen. You have helped countless children of God find what they have lost‐‐not just things of this world, but more importantly, things of the spirit‐‐faith, hope, and love. I come before you with confidence. Please help me in my present need, (Silent pause for petitions) and ask that God return to me what has been lost if it is His holy will. Amen. A Prayer of Thanksgiving O glorious wonder‐worker, Saint Anthony, father of the poor and comforter of the troubled, you have come to my assistance with great kindness and have strengthened me abundantly. I give you my heartfelt thanks. Accept my offering and with it my promise to live always in the love of Jesus and of my neighbor. Continue to grant your protection, and obtain for me the grace one day to enter the kingdom of heaven, to join with you and all the saints in praising God for his everlasting kindness. Amen. (During the observance of the thirteen Tuesdays prior to the feast of Saint Anthony, the readings and prayers to each Tuesday may be included at this point in the novena.) Thirteen Tuesday Novena Prayers O gentle and loving Saint Anthony, in whose arms the infant Jesus ever loved to linger, grant your powerful aid, and at your word my prayer will be granted. 4 First Tuesday: Blessed Saint Anthony, I greet you in the name of the Queen of Angels. Pray that, with her, you may approach Almighty God with my request and ask that it may be granted. (After each of the special 13 Tuesday prayers we say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be, for the intentions of the Holy Father.) Second Tuesday: Blessed Saint Anthony, I greet you in the name of the patriarchs and prophets and I thank God that, like them, you were given the gifts of divine knowledge and of seeing the future. Now I ask you to approach Almighty God with them and obtain for me my request by your prayers. Third Tuesday: Blessed Saint Anthony, I greet you in the name of all the holy apostles and disciples of Christ. I thank God for choosing you also to preach the Gospel and spread the faith, and I ask you to pray with them for me so that God may grant my request. Fourth Tuesday: Blessed Saint Anthony, you, like the martyrs and the saints who pro‐ claimed Christ, were always ready to suffer persecution for His sake. I greet you now and ask you to approach A lmighty God and implore Him to grant my request. 5 Fifth Tuesday: Blessed Saint Anthony, I greet you in the name of all holy bishops and priests and I thank God for giving you the grace of con‐ verting so very many people to Christ. May God hear your prayers for me and grant my request. Sixth Tuesday: Blessed Saint Anthony, I greet you and I thank God because He gave you and many monks and hermits the grace to spend your life in good works. Like them you stayed awake at night,you prayed, fasted, and denied yourself. May your prayers and theirs rise before God so that I may obtain what I ask. Seventh Tuesday: Blessed Saint Anthony, I greet you in the name of all virgins and holy inno‐ cents. Like them you led a life of purity and overcame all temptations. I ask you and them to speak for me to God so that my prayer may be heard.

From the beginnings of human history, people have designated particular locations as sacred and traveled to them in a pilgrimage. When Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 314 CE, Christian shrines emerged very soon at martyrs’ tombs and other places of historical importance in development of this religion. The distribution of physical relics created many of the Christian shrines in Western Europe. Popular belief concerning Mary began to evolve upon Jesus’ death; and in turn, most of these beliefs were adopted into Roman Catholic doctrine and became Mariology or Marianism, the veneration of Mary. In Western Europe, a number of shrines were created from an apparition of Mary to local people, and with any shrine’s approval by the institutional Church, it gained an international reputation and following; shrines not granted this approval by the Church have remained less internationally well-known and mostly locally based.

  • The Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy
    The Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy The Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy are both mantras, which are prayers based on repetition. The mantra becomes a constant companion, reminding you of your steadfast relationship with God and helping you navigate all the distractions your mind and heart may be prone to. By using a mantra, you can tap into and even expand your inner resources of peace, patience, strength, and faithfulness. A mantra can be repeated silently as you go about your regular activities. There are an amazing number of opportunities for this prayer practice during a day, such as while standing in the elevator, in your car, on a walk, or while waiting. All you need is about 20 minutes to pray either the Rosary or the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy are prayed with the aid of rosary beads, but both can be prayed without. One difference in method between the two is that the Rosary has a focus for each decade, called “the mysteries,” which are significant events in the life of Jesus. Each decade of 10 beads is focused on one of the mysteries, a source of meditation during the mantra. Both the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy can be offered for particular intentions. Praying the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy takes only a few short minutes wherein we acknowledge God as our Merciful Savior, acknowledge God as our source of life, acknowledge our own sinfulness, intercede for the world, pray for God's saving help, and reflect on Jesus' passion and resurrection that opened up a whole avenue of Mercy for us.

  • Taken from Our Catholic Prayers
    Taken from Our Catholic Prayers THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET The Divine Mercy Chaplet is a beautiful prayer composed by our Lord Himself to help foster devotion to His Divine Mercy! He taught it to a Polish nun, Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska (pictured at left) in 1935, in one of His many private revelations to her. Jesus conveyed to her our need to ask for His mercy, to be merciful ourselves, and to trust in Him completely. Mercy is a key part of the love that He has for us and wants us to show each other. The reference to our Lord’s Passion serves as a poignant reminder of just how much God loves us that He would allow His only son to suffer and die for us, so that, as we hear at Mass, “sins may be forgiven.” Jesus wasn’t revealing a new doctrine about forgiveness to Saint Faustina. Scripture abounds with references to God's mercy. Among a number of examples, we read in the Psalms that “the Lord is gracious and merciful” (Ps 145:8). In the Our Father (printed above) we ask God to forgive us as we forgive others. Christ introduced His parable of the Unmerciful Servant in Matthew’s gospel by instructing His followers to forgive others “seventy times seven times” (Matt 18:22). And, you might also remember His famous proclamation in the Sermon on the Mount that “blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matt: 5:7). What was new was that our Lord wished Saint Faustina to help establish an apostolic movement of Divine Mercy so that even the most hardened sinners would know that they could obtain His mercy if they asked for it with a spirit of true repentance.

  • Divine Mercy Devotions
    Barbara Christian, MBA Apostle of Divine Mercy “Mercy is love that seeks to lessen the misery of others.” Dr. Bryan Thatcher What Is Divine Mercy, And Who Is St. Faustina? y Divine Mercy is that God loves us and He wants us to know that His mercy is greater than our sins. God wants us to call upon Him with trust and receive His mercy, so that it may flow from us to our fellow brothers and sisters. In this way, we all share in God’s eminent love. y Sr. Faustina was a young nun with the congregation of Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Cracow, Poland, during the 1930’s who received extraordinary revelations from Our Lord Jesus. Jesus asked her to record the messages in notebooks. These notebooks make up the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, and contains God’s loving message of Divine Mercy.

  • Archdiocese of St. Louis Office of Sacred Worship Prayer Divina Chaplets
    Archdiocese of St. Louis Office of Sacred Worship Prayer Divina Chaplets Chaplets The word chaplet simply comes from the French word for Rosary, which is chapelet, but the term has now come to be associated with specific sets of prayers, intended to ask the help of Mary, Jesus, or the saints. The standard five decade rosary is in fact a chaplet, but chaplets can vary in size, in pattern or grouping of beads, and in the prayers said on each bead. Typically, the basic prayers, such as the Hail Mary and Our Father are still recited, but chaplets commonly also include prayers to a specific image of Christ or Mary, a particular saint or angel, or a litany. Often, a chaplet is based on a certain intention, and so prayers to the patron saint of that intention or subject will be included. One of the most common chaplets in recent years is the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, a chaplet Jesus instructed St. Maria Faustina to pray. It can be said anytime, especially for the dead or dying, but is also often said as part of the Divine Mercy novena which lasts from Good Friday to Divine Mercy Sunday. Another popular chaplet is the St. Joseph Chaplet, a set of prayers asking for the protection and intercession of St. Joseph. Servite Chaplet or Rosary Though it can be prayed by anyone, the Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows of Mary is especially connected to the Servite Order (also called Servants of Mary) and so this unique chaplet is commonly referred to as the Servite Rosary.
