Devotion of 13 Tuesdays in honour of St. Anthony
TWELFTH TUESDAY
Introductory Prayer
Meditation
All dangers vanish at your prayer
1. Life, especially in these days, is filled with danger. Assuredly in these modern times we can say with still greater significance with the Apostle that we are surrounded by dangers on the sea, on the land, and in the air, at home and outside, from false brethren, and from servants and relatives; dangers from ourselves, and at times even the dangers which we have voluntarily sought.
2. Who can escape so many dangers and be saved? Only he that shall watch and pray, he that shall mistrust himself and shall have confidence in god and Saints.
3. In all these dangers w can, and should, make use of the intercession of our Lord, our Lady ant the Saints. But God has willed that the clients of Saint Anthony should find in him a most powerful protector, an angel of good council, and in a certain measure a saviour, who in life and death will defend them in all the dangers that arise to body and soul.
Meditate for a while on these truths and then recite the Our Father,
Hail Mary and Glory be.
Here ask the grace which you desire to receive.
