O wonderful St. Anthony, glorious on account of the fame of your miracles, and through the condescension 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 . (State your intention)
NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY

St. Anthony of Padua is one of the most famous disciples of St. Francis of Assisi. He was a famous preacher and worker of miracles in his own day, and throughout the eight centuries since his death he has so generously come to the assistance of the faithful who invoke him, that he is known throughout the world.

“Saint Anthony does not only listen to the prayers of Catholics and other Christians but also to those of other religions,” Father Nasari said.

Beautiful post! Thank you!

St. Anthony preaching to the fishes, who put their heads out of the water to listen. The hard-hearted townsfolk of Rimini who had refused to listen to him were impressed.

The Miracle of the Mule. A mule that hadn't eaten for three days bowed down before the Host instead of heading for the truss of hay.

But he was most famous in his life for his wonderful preaching - he was known as the "Hammer of the Heretics" and the "Living Ark of the Covenant."
