Responsory of St. Anthony
If miracles thou fain wouldst see,
Lo, error, death, calamity.
The leprous stain, the demon flies,
From beds of pain the sick arise.
The hungry fed, the fetters burst,
The poor set free, the lost are found.
Let those relate who know it well,
Let Padua of her patron tell.
The sea obeys and fetters break,
And lifeless limbs thou dost restore,
While treasures lost are found again,
When young and old thine aid implore.
To Father, Son, may glory be,
And Holy Spirit eternally.
Pray for us, blessed St. Anthony,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Prayer to the Guardian Angels
O holy Guardian Angels, protectors of our souls and bodies,
you never leave our side.
Guide us in the path of holiness,
keep us safe from harm,
and inspire us to follow God’s will.
Guard us day and night until we reach our heavenly home. Amen.
Concluding Prayer
O God, may the pious commemoration of St. Anthony, Your servant, give joy to Your Church,
that she may always be strengthened with spiritual help and deserve eternal rewards.
Guardian Angels of God, defend us always.

Responsoryo kay San Antonio
Kung himala ang hanap mo,
Kay San Antonio’y dumulog.
Pagkakasala’y naglalaho,
Mga may sakit ay napapagaling.
Ang mga bilanggo’y pinalalaya,
Ang mga nagugutom ay nabubusog.
Ang mga nawawala’y natatagpuan,
Ang dagat ay tumatahimik.
Sumasamba kami sa Ama,
At sa Anak, at sa Espiritu Santo.
San Antonio, ipanalangin mo kami,
Upang maging karapat-dapat kami
Sa mga pangako ni Kristo.
Panalangin sa mga Anghel na Tagapagtanggol
O mga Banal na Anghel na Tagapagtanggol, bantay ng aming kaluluwa at katawan,
hindi ninyo kami iniiwan.
Patnubayan ninyo kami sa landas ng kabanalan,
iligtas kami sa kapahamakan,
at pukawin kami na sundin ang kalooban ng Diyos.
Bantayan ninyo kami araw at gabi hanggang makarating kami sa langit. Amen.
Pangwakas na Panalangin
O Diyos, na sa pamamagitan ng pag-alaala kay San Antonio ay nagbibigay kagalakan sa Iyong Simbahan, ipagkaloob Mo nawa na kami’y laging tumanggap ng tulong at gantimpala ng buhay na walang hanggan.
Mga Banal na Anghel ng Diyos, ipagtanggol ninyo kami magpakailanman.
Sa ngalan ng Ama, at ng Anak, at ng Espiritu Santo. Amen.
