Devotion of 13 Tuesdays in honour of St. Anthony



THIRD TUESDAY

Introductory Prayer
Meditation

Error flees

1. Truth is the life of the soul and man should love nothing more than he does truth and good. Unhappy is he who nourishes himself upon error and falsehood.

2. Saint Anthony was never tired of preaching the truth, and dissipating the errors of his time. He never betrayed his conscience, nor failed to teach the true doctrine because of the influence of human respect, either to the great or the humble, to the rich or the poor, the powerful or the destitute. His sole endeavour was to please God, and he regarded the applause of the world as nothing.

3. There are some who voluntarily allow themselves to be deceived, so that they may more freely live in error. They fear the light, for they fear that it will reveal that which is forbidden to them. Their ignorance in religious matters is voluntary and they are the more blameworthy. What excuse can they offer before God? Seek the Truth and save the world.

Spend a few moments in reflection and then recite the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be.

Here ask the grace which you desire to receive.
