Novena

I am doing 3 novena's starting today. Today I am starting with St. Anthony of Padua, after this one is completed I'm going to do one to St. Therese and then end with St. Dominic. I'm doing three...praying that God will CLEARLY show me where it is that He is calling me to. It's scheduled to end on a certain day and after it's all done I shall let you all know what I have received!

I desire to be a religious and to GIVE MY LIFE ENTIRELY to JESUS....come...fill my HEART with the Holy Spirit and HIS desire...show me LORD where it is you are specifically calling me to. Please send me a sign. THANK YOU JESUS.


Novena to St. Anthony of Padua

O wonderful St. Anthony,glorious on account of the fame of your miracles,and through the condescension of Jesusin coming in the form of a little child to rest in your arms,obtain for me of His bounty the gracewhich I ardently desire from the depths of my heart...
(State your intention 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 magnifiedby the granting of the particular request...
(Request your intention here.)
which I now ask for with persevering earnestness.
Amen
Next, recite in honour of St. Anthony...
Our Father,Hail Mary,Glory Be to the Father.
Saint Anthony, pray for us!

DAY ONE
O holy St. Anthony,gentlest of saints,your love for God and charity for his creaturesmade 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...
(State your intention here.)
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 thee gratitude of my heart will always be yours.
Next, recite in honour of St. Anthony...
Our Father,Hail Mary,Glory Be to the Father.
Saint Anthony, pray for us!
