Nine-day Novena with St. Anthony of the Desert Day One

The Calling of Christ the King.

 

“Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect,

 go, sell what you possess and give to the poor,

and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

 

Matthew 19:21

 

“He will receive blessing from the Lord,

    and vindication from the God of his salvation.

 Such is the generation of those who seek him,

    who seek the face of the God of Jacob.”

 

Psalm 24:5-6

 

Today’s Meditation

 

The Holy Trinity created you. He fashioned you out of his Love and care. God has a greater purpose for each one of us.

We are all destined for peace and harmony. He calls us to surrender ourselves to his will,

And he will bring other closer to his love.

 

(Pray for your Personal Intention Here)

 

Say One Our Father, Three Hail Mary and One Glory Be, to Honor the Most Holy Trinity and asking God to delivery you of whatever is preventing you from living a higher level of Holiness.

 

Prayer

 

Jesus, help me in my human weakness. Thou I am a fallen creature, you willingly died on the cross for me. You created each human being to do a special mission

on earth. Like St. Anthony, you speak into the quietness of our hearts and call each of us by name. I beg for God the Holy Spirit to illuminate my heart to answer the calling of

the Lord and to abandon the worldly things that hold my soul to this life!

 

St. Anthony of the Desert, humble servant of God, pray for me!
