The Thirteen Days of St. Anthony
(the Tredicina)
|
The following
prayers are sometimes prayed on thirteen consecutive Tuesdays,
especially on the
Tuesdays leading up to the Feast of St. Anthony (June 13). But most who
make this devotion do so on the thirteen days preceding the Feast of
St. Anthony -- the "Tredicina"
(i.e., starting on May 31 and ending on June 12). Either way, each day,
a
different prayer to St. Anthony is said, followed by one Our Father,
one Hail Mary, one Glory Be, and St. Bonaventure's Miraculous
Responsory of St. Anthony. Theses prayers may be downloaded for easy
printing, in pdf format (4
pages).
First
Day
O glorious St. Anthony, born under the protection of Mary Immaculate,
on the Feast of her Assumption into Heaven and consecrated to her at a
tender age; thou didst vanquish the demon by the Sign of the Cross,
which thy finger impressed on the marble of the church where thou wert
praying. Oh, we beseech thee, obtain for us a tender devotion to our
Blessed Mother, and the strength to triumph over all the attacks on our
infernal enemy.
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou
amongst women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary,
mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of our death.
Amen.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it
was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
St. Bonaventure’s
“Miraculous Responsory of St. Anthony”
If then you ask for miracles,
Death, error, all calamities,
The leprosy and demons fly,
And health succeeds infirmities.
The sea obeys, and fetters break,
And lifeless limbs thou dost restore,
Whilst treasures lost are found again,
When young and old thine aid implore.
All dangers vanish at thy prayer,
And direst need doth quickly flee;
Let those who know thy power proclaim,
Let Paduans say: “These are of thee.”
The sea obeys, and fetters break,
And lifeless limbs thou dost restore,
Whilst treasures lost are found again,
When young and old thine aid implore.
To Father, Son, may glory be,
And Holy Spirit eternally.

Day
O glorious Saint! Thou didst escape from the dangers and temptations of
