NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA – DAY 6
ST. ANTHONY, TEACH US HUMILITY
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O glorious St. Anthony of Padua, humble servant of God and faithful follower of Christ, I come before you today seeking the grace of true humility. Though gifted with great wisdom and holiness, you always gave glory to God and never sought honor for yourself. Help me to recognize that every blessing comes from the Lord and to depend entirely upon His grace. The Word of God says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6). Through your prayers, may I grow in humility and trust in God alone.
O blessed St. Anthony, teach me to imitate the humility of Jesus, who came not to be served but to serve. Help me to be patient when I am misunderstood, gentle when I am offended, and charitable toward those around me. Free my heart from pride, selfishness, and the desire for recognition. The Scriptures remind us, “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted” (Matthew 23:12). Pray that I may always seek to do God's will with a sincere and humble heart.
O compassionate St. Anthony, intercede for all who struggle with pride, anger, or self-reliance. Pray for those who find it difficult to forgive, to serve others, or to accept correction. Help families, communities, and the Church to grow in unity through humility and love. The Word of God declares, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves” (Philippians 2:3). May we learn to serve one another with kindness and compassion.
O dear St. Anthony, I now place before you my personal intentions and the deepest desires of my heart, trusting in your powerful intercession before God:
(Mention your intentions here…)
O beloved St. Anthony, obtain for me the grace to walk humbly before God each day. Help me to seek holiness rather than praise, service rather than recognition, and God's glory rather than my own. The Scriptures say, “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up” (James 4:10). Through your prayers, may I grow in virtue and remain faithful to Christ all the days of my life. Amen.
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory Be…
St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us.
St. Anthony, model of humility, pray for us.
St. Anthony, teach us to serve God faithfully, pray for us. Amen
