2 Tuesday 7pm Mass followed by the Novena to St Anthony PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS BOOKLET

3 St. Anthony of Padua ( ) Patron of the poor and of finding lost articles Anthony was born in Lisbon, Portugal and baptized Fernando. As a teenager he wanted to become a priest and joined the Augustinians. Not long after, he met a group of five Franciscan friars who were on their way to morocco to preach to the Muslims. They stirred his interest in their new order, and when those friars were later martyred, Fernando felt a great desire to imitate them. So he transferred to the Franciscans and was ordained soon after. Changing his name to Anthony he traveled throughout Italy and crowds flocked to hear his sermons. He had a gift for touching hearts through his preaching and as a result many people came to a conversion of life. Worn out by travel and fatigue, Anthony became ill and died at a young age. Many favors were reported through his intercession, and his fame grew even more after his death. His feast day is June 13th. (N.B. At the Shrine here in Hawthorn his feast is observed solemnly on the Sunday closest to June the 13th with Sung Masses, Procession, the blessing and distribution of Bread and other celebrations.) A NOTE ON THE DEVOTION OF THE NINE TUESDAYS On the Tuesday following the death of St. Anthony the people of Padua carried his body to its last resting-place in the church of our Blessed Lady, which was attached to the Franciscan friars at Padua. The occasion was marked by great splendor and enthusiasm, and the cortege moved through the city to the music of bells and joyous hymns. The day was marked, too, by an extraordinary number of miracles. The biographers of the saint tell us that the blind regained their sight, the deaf their hearing, and the lame the use of their limbs. Every grace and favor asked for in faith and confidence was granted. The people were so impressed by the wonderful things they had witnessed that they began to observe Tuesdays as days of special devotion in honor of their saint. However, as time went on the practice fell into disuse until, in 1616, St. Anthony himself revived it in the form of a novena of nine consecutive Tuesdays. In response to the prayers of a childless couple, he appeared to the wife and bade her visit his altar and pray before it on nine consecutive Tuesdays. This she did, and in the course of time became a mother.

4 ABOUT ST. ANTHONY S HAWTHORN Conceived originally as a project by an Italian Capuchin, Fr. Boniface Zurli, then constructed and brought to completion in 1960 s. With the help of donations and voluntary labour from generous members of the Italian community, this shrine is adorned with a variety of esteemed and priceless works of religious art. In addition to the abundant use and beauty of the rare and multi-coloured marble, there are the splendid mosaics including one depicting the Calvary scene which is perhaps the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Among other artistic features are the many statues carved in wood of the blessed virgin and particular saints held in veneration by migrants from various regions of Italy. Noteworthy, too, are the admirable paintings of the renowned Hungarian local artist, Bela de Valentin, applied to the suspended concave ceiling where even Saint Mary of the Cross finds a place. The image of St. Anthony, Parton of the shrine, which occupies a central position behind the main altar, was sculptured at Ortisei in northern Italy, sent to Padua where it was placed on the tomb of the saint, blessed and inserted with a precious relic and then shipped to Australia.

5 NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY FIRST DAY: THE WORD OF GOD Willingness to hear the Word of God is a sign of predestination. Just like the exile, who awaits and gladly hears news from his homeland, shows that he loves his country, so too the Christian who listens attentively to him who speaks of the heavenly fatherland may say that his heart is directed towards heaven. (St. Anthony) Let us pray Lord, through the intercession of Anthony, the Evangelical Doctor and messenger of your word, make us hear your gospel and faithfully live it out. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. THE MIRACULOUS RESPONSORY 1. If then you ask for miracles, death, error, all calamities the leprosy and demons fly and health succeeds infirmities. Refrain The sea obeys and fetters break, And lifeless limbs you do restore; While treasures lost are found again, When young and old your aid implore.. 2. All dangers vanish at your prayer, and needs most dire do fly away; let those who know your power proclaim these deeds are yours, let Paduans say. Refrain 3. All glory to the Father be, the like be given to the Son, and to the Spirit equally: the persons three, the Godhead One. Refrain FOR EACH TUESDAY O glorious St. Anthony, Safe refuge of the afflicted and distressed, by miraculous revelation you have directed all those who seek aid to come to your altar with the promise that whoever visits it and there devoutly invokes you, for the nine consecutive Tuesdays, will feel the power of your intercession. Encouraged by this promise, I, a poor sinner, come to you, O powerful saint. With a firm hope I implore your aid, your protection, your counsel and your blessing. Obtain for me, I beseech you my request in this necessity (mention it) But if it should be opposed to the will of God and my spiritual welfare, obtain for me other graces that will be helpful for my salvation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be) V/. Pray for us, Blessed Anthony. R/. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray. Almighty and eternal God, you glorified your faithful confessor Anthony, with the perpetual gift of working miracles. Graciously grant that what we confidently seek through his merits we may surely receive through his intercession. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 1

6 SECOND DAY: THE WISDOM OF THE LITTLE ONES The poor, the simple, the humble and the lowly thirst after the words of life and the waters of wisdom; they who inebriate themselves with vice, and the counselors of the mighty refuse the divine message! (St. Anthony) Let us pray Father, Lord of heaven and earth, we give you thanks because you have hidden the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven from the wise and understanding of this world and revealed them to the simple; make us worthy to stand before you and serve you faithfully. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Responsary and prayer for each Tuesday (page 1) THIRD DAY: THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST Not many hear the Word of God willingly. The reason for this rests in the fact that the doctrine of Christ does not play a melody of adulation; it does not flatter the sinners and it does not promise earthly goods; instead it severely warns and teaches to mortify the flesh and despise the world. (St. Anthony) Let us pray Lord, following the example of your saints, may we accept your inspiration with a pure soul and mortify our hearts to adhere to you the true God, who lives forever and ever. Amen. Responsary and prayer for each Tuesday (page 1) FOURTH DAY: DIVINE WISDOM The Old and New Testaments contain the fullness of that understanding which alone can produce wise men. The words of Scripture protect us from burning thirst for the worldly prosperity, from carnal concupiscence, and from diabolical suggestions, This wisdom teaches us to love God, despise the world, and dominate the passions. (St. Anthony) Let us pray Lord God, through the intercession of Anthony of Padua, may we be filled with heavenly knowledge. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Responsary and prayer for each Tuesday (page 1) FIFTH DAY: THE SWEETNESS OF GOD When a crystal is touched or struck by the rays of the sun, it gives forth brilliant sparkles of light. When the man of faith is touched by the light of God s grace, he too must shine with his good words and deeds, and so bring God s light to others. (St. Anthony)

7 Let us pray God, grant that with our holy Miracle Worker, we come to taste your sweetness and delight in doing your will. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Responsary and prayer for each Tuesday (page 1) SIXTH DAY: CHRISTAIN WITNESS He speaks well who with actions witness what he announces with his mouth. Whoever distributes faithfully the bread of the Word of God and does not hide the truth will be blessed now and in the future. Christ says: I am the truth! Whoever preaches the truth affirms Christ; who conceals the truth, denies Christ. (St. Anthony) Let us pray Lord, by means of your servants you give us the bread of the word. May we receive it with a pure soul and witness to it in the world for your glory and for the salvation of our brothers and sisters. You live and reign for ever and ever Amen. Responsary and prayer for each Tuesday (page 1) SEVENTH DAY: THE SUFFERINGS CHRIST The contemplation of the sufferings of Christ renders us indifferent to the joys and pleasures of the world. When, with the eyes of faith, I see my God nailed to the cross, and given gall and vinegar to drink, everything here below loses its attraction for me and I experience my nothingness. (St. Anthony) Let us pray Lord Jesus, you died and rose to a new life for us. May we share in your mystery and take part in the joy of your resurrection. You live and reign with the Father and the Holy spirit. God forever and ever. Amen. Responsary and prayer for each Tuesday (page 1) EIGHTH DAY: THE VALUE OF TIME The Lord gave you time so that you might work for your salvation, but you may have made it a private property. The day will come when the Lord will take back what you usurped. Do not waste the time that the Lord, in his goodness, gave you to find forgiveness, acquire grace, do penance and merit heavenly glory! (St. Anthony) Let us pray God, in your goodness, you gave us these years so that we might live and fill our time with those things which last forever. May we be faithful to your gift. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Responsary and prayer for each Tuesday (page 1).

8 NINTH DAY: THE HEAVENLY JERUSALEM Do not turn to the right or to the left, but walk along the golden road. Fix your attention on the heavenly Jerusalem, towards which you are heading. Keep this hope alive in your heart and you will always be a friend of God. (St. Anthony) Let us pray Almighty God, you made us for yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in you. May we, your children, be faithful pilgrims towards our heavenly fatherland. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Responsary and prayer for each Tuesday (page 1) Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy! Christ, have mercy, Christ, have mercy! Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy! Christ, hear us, Christ graciously hear us! God, the father of heaven, Have mercy on us! God, the son, Redeemer of the world Have mercy on us! God, the Holy Spirit, Have mercy on us! Holy Trinity, one God, Have mercy on us! Holy Mary, pray for us! Holy Mother of God, Holy Virgin of Virgins, St. Anthony, of Padua St. Anthony, glory of friars minor, St. Anthony, lily of virginity, St. Anthony, gem of poverty, St. Anthony, example of obedience, St. Anthony, mirror of abstinence St. Anthony, vessel of purity St. Anthony, star of sanctity St. Anthony, model of conduct St. Anthony, beauty of paradise St. Anthony, ark of the testament St. Anthony, keeper of Scriptures St. Anthony, teacher of truth St. Anthony, preacher of grace St. Anthony, exterminator of vices St. Anthony, planter of virtues St. Anthony, conqueror of heretics St. Anthony, terror of infidels St. Anthony, consoler of the afflicted St. Anthony, searcher of consciences St. Anthony, martyr in desire St. Anthony, terror of the devils St. Anthony, horror of hell St. Anthony, performer of miracles LITANY OF ST ANTHONY St. Anthony, restorer of lost things, pray for us! St. Anthony, helper in need, St. Anthony, helper of God s poor Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, spare us, O Lord! Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, graciously hear us O Lord! Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us! V/. Pray for us, Blessed Anthony R/. Make us worthy of the promises of Christ! Let us pray Lord God, may our prayers in honour of St. Anthony be a source of joy to your Church. Strengthen your people to live by his example so that they may come to possess the joys if heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen PRAYER FOR RECOVERY OF LOST ARTICLES Glorious St. Anthony, for centuries you have exercised your God-given power of finding what was lost. Help me to recover God s grace, and make me zealous in the service of God and in the practice of virtue. Let me find whatever I have lost, thus showing me the presence of your goodness. (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be)

11 1. ABIDE WITH ME Abide with me; fast flows the eventide: the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life s little day; earth s joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see: O thou who changest not, abide with me. I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter s power? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; heaven s morning breaks, and earth s vain shadows flee;

12 in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Henry Francis Lyte ( ) 2. ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD All creatures of our God and King lift up your voice and with us sing alleluia, alleluia!

AWAY IN MANGER Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head; the stars in the bright sky, looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love you, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in your tender care, and fit us for heaven, to live with you there.

You shall speak your words in foreign lands and all will understand. You shall see the face of God and live. Be not afraid I go before you always. Come follow me, and I will give you rest. If you pass through raging waters in the sea, you shall not drown. If you walk amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed. If you stand before the pow r of hell and death is at your side, Know that I am with you through it all. Blessed are your poor, for the kingdom shall be theirs. Blest are you that weep and mourn, for one day you shall laugh. And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of me. blessed, blessed are you!

Blest are they who hunger and thirst, they shall have their fill. Blest are they who show mercy, Mercy shall be theirs Blest are they, the pure of heart, They shall see God! Blest are they who seek peace; they are the children of God. Blest are they who suffer in faith, the glory of God is theirs. Blest are you, who suffer hate, all because of me. Rejoice and be glad, yours is the Kingdom; shine for all to see.

Thou who art sevenfold in Thy grace, finger of God s right hand; His promise, teaching little ones to speak and understand. Through thee may we the Father know, through Thee th eternal Son, And Thee the spirit of them both,

19 Thrice blessed three in one. All glory to the father be, with his co-equal Son: the same to Thee, great Paraclete, while endless ages run. Veni Creator; altr. to Rabanus Maurus, c DO NOT BE AFRIAD Do not be afraid, I am with you; I have called you by your name, you are mine; I have called you by your name, you are mine. The Lord is my light and my help; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, before whom shall I shrink? There is one thing I ask of the Lord, for this I long: to live in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life. I am sure I shall see the Lord s goodness in the land of the living. Hope in Him, hold firm and take heart, Hope in the Lord. Psalm DOWN IN ADORATION Down in adoration falling, This great sacrament we hail Ancient types have long departed Never rites of grace prevail Faith for all defects supplying Where the feeble senses fail. Glory let us give and blessing To the Father and the Son Honour might and praise addressing While eternal ages run, Equal praise to Him confessing Who proceeds from both as one.

I give all my life to you; help me, Jesus to be true! Spirit, in my life I see you are God who walks with me! You hold my life in your hands; Close besides you I will stand! I give all my life to you; Help me, Spirit to be true! Frank Andersen, M.S.C.

20 26. FILL MY HOUSE Fill my house unto the fullest, Eat My bread and drink My wine, The love I bear is held from no-one All I own and all I do, I give to you. Take my time unto the fullest, Find in me the trust you seek, Take my hands to you outstretching. All I own and all I do, I give to you. Christ Our Lord with love enormous, From the Cross His lesson taught, Love all men, as I have loved you. All I own and all I do, I give to you. Join with me as one in Christ-love, May our hearts all beat as one, May we give ourselves completely. All I own and all I do, I give to you. Peter Kearney 27. FIRMLY I BELIEVE Firmly I believe and truly God is Three and God is One; and I next acknowledge duly manhood taken by the Son. And I trust and hope most fully in that manhood crucified; and each thought and deed unruly do to death, as He has died. Simply to his grace and wholly life and light and strength belong, and I love supremely, solely, Him the holy, Him the strong. And I hold in veneration, for the love of Him alone, holy church as his creation, and her teachings, as His own. Adoration aye be given with and through the angelic host, to the God of earth and heaven, Father, Son and Holy ghost. John Henry Newman, FOR ALL THE SAINTS For all the saints who from their labours rest, who thee by faith before the world confessed, thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest. Alleluia, alleluia! Thou wast their rock, their fortress and their might, thou, Lord, their captain in the well-fought fight; Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true light. Alleluia, alleluia! O may thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold, fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, and win, with them, the victor s crown of gold. Alleluia, alleluia! O blest communion! Fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; yet all are one in thee, for all are thine. Alleluia, alleluia! From earth s wide bounds, from ocean s farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,

21 singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, alleluia! William Walsham How GENTLE AS SILENCE Oh, the love of My Lord is the essence of all that I love here on earth. All the beauty I see He has given to me and his giving is gentle as silence. Every day, every hour, every moment, have been blessed by the strength of his love At the turn of each tide He is there at my side, and His touch is as gentle as silence. There ve been times when I ve turned from His presence, and I ve walked others paths, other ways. But I ve called on His name in the dark of my shame, and His mercy was gentle as silence. Estelle White 30. GLORY AND PRAISE Glory and praise to our God, Who alone gives light to our days. Many are the blessings He bears to those who trust in His ways. We the daughters and sons of Him Who built the valleys and plains, praise the wonders our God has done in ev ry heart that sings. In His wisdom he strengthens us, like gold that s tested in fire. Through the power of sin prevails our God is there to save. Ev ry moment of ev ry day our God is waiting to save, always ready to seek the lost, to answer those who pray. Psalam 65, 66; Dan Schutte, b GODHEAD HERE IN HIDING 1. Godhead here in hiding, Whom I do adore Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more, see, Lord, at Thy s service low, all lost in wonder at the God thou art. 2. Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived, How says trusty hearing? That shall be believed; What God s Son hath told me, take for truth I do; Truth Himself speaks truly, or there s nothing true. 3. On the Cross thy Godhead Made no sign to men; Here Thy very Manhood

22 Steals from human ken; Both are my confession, Both are my belief, And I pray the prayer of the dying thief. 4. I am not like Thomas Wounds I cannot see, but can plainly call Thee Lord and God as he; this Faith each day deeper be my holding of, daily make me harder hope and dearer love. 5. O Thou our reminder of Christ crucified, living Bread, the life of us for whom he died, lend this life to me then; feed and feast my mind, there be Thou the sweetness man was meant to find. 6. Jesus, whom I look at Shrouded here below, I beseech Thee send me What I long for so, Some day to gaze on Thee Face to face in light And be blest for ever With Thy Glory s sight.

Chorus: Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy; Let me not implore in vain; All my sins I now detest them, Never will I sin again. By my sins I have deserved Death and endless miser, Hell with all its pains and torments, And for all eternity.

HERE I AM, LORD I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin my hand will save I who make the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send? Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in the night. I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my heat. I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people s pain. I have wept for love of them. They turn away. I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone. I will speak my word to them. Whom shall I spend? 38. HOLY GOD Isaiah 6; Dan Schutte, b Holy God, we praise Thy Name; Lord of all, we bow before Thee! All on earth Thy scepter claim, All in heav n above Thee; infinite Thy vast domain, everlasting is Thy reign. Hark! The loud celestial hymn Angel choirs above are raising, Cherubim and Seraphim, In unceasing chorus praising; Fill the heav ns with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy lord. Lo! Th apostles all proclaim Christ is Lord, His Name be hallowed ; Prophets swell the loud refrain, and the white robed martyrs follow; and from morn to set of sun, through the church the song goes on. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy spirit, three we name Thee, While in essence only One, Undivided God we claim Thee; and adoring bend the knee, while we own the mystery. Ascr.To Ignaz Franz, Tr.

I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder, Thy pow r throughout the universe displayed: Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee. How Great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee. How Great Thou art! How great Thou art! And when I think: that God his son not sparing Sent Him to die I scarce can take it in: That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died, to take away my sin: When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home what joy shall fill my heart! Then shall I bow in humble adoration, And there proclaim, My God howgreat Thou art! Stuart K. Hine 40.I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall not hunger, he who believes in me shall not thirst. No one can come to me unless the Father draw him. Refrain And I will raise him up. and I will raise him up, and I will raise him up on the last day. The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world, and he who eats of this bread, he shall live forever, he shall live forever. Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink of his blood, and drink of his blood, you shall not have life within you. I am the Resurrection I am the life.

ISAIAH 49: I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU I will never forget you my people I have carved you on the palm of my hand I will never forget you, I will not leave you orphaned. I will never forget my own. Does a mother forget her baby? Or a woman the child within her womb? Yet even if these forget, Yes even if these forget I will never forget my own. Carey Landry 43.

King of kings yet born of Marty, as of old on earth he stood, Lord of lords in human vesture, in the body and the blood, he will give to all faithful his own self for heav nly food. Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way, as the light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day, that the powers of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.

And where there s doubt, true Faith in you Make me a channel of your peace. Where there s despair in life, let me bring hope. Where there is darkness, only light. And where there s sadness, ever joy. O Master, grant that I may never seek So much to be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand. To be loved as to love with all my soul. Make me a channel of Your peace.

Virgin-mother of our God, Lift us when we fall, Who named upon the cross Mother of us all. Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Heaven signs your praise; Mary magnifies your name Through eternal days. Stanbrook Abbey Hymnal 48. MAY THIS LENTEN DISCIPLINE May this Lenten discipline, Which we undertake with love, Turn our minds to things above. Sin has sundered us from God, Selfish we have grown and cold, Foolish were the ways we trod, Evil habits akeep their hold. Now we fast we may feast Where the lord of Life presides; May our bread which he provides. As we keep this Lent with Prayer And from pleasures are withdrawn, Minds and bodies we prepare For the joy of Easter dawn. James Philip McAuley ( ) 49. NOW THANK WE Now thank we all our God with hearts and hands and voices, who wondrous things has done, in whom the world rejoices; who, from our mother s arms, has blest us on our way with countless gifts of love, and still is ours to-day. O may this bounteous God Through all our loves be near us, with ever joyful hearts, and blessed peace to cheer us; and keep us his grace, and guide us when perplexed, and free us from all ills in this world and the next. All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given the Son, and Spirit blest, one Lord in highest heaven: the One eternal God, whom earth and heav n adore for thus it was, is now and shall be evermore.
