This chaplet is composed of thirteen
decades of three beads each. On the first bead of each decade say the Our
Father, on the second the Hail Mary, and on the third the Glory be to the
Father. At the end recite the Miraculous Repository. The Miraculous Repository By St. Bonaventure If miracles thou fain would see, Lo, error, death, calamity. The leprous stain, the demon flies, From beds of pain the sick arise. (The hungry sees forego their prey, The prisoner's cruel chains give way; While palsied limbs and chattels lost Both young and old recovered boast.) And perils perish, plenty's hoard, Is heaped on hunger's famished board; Let those relate who know it well, Let Padua on her patron tell. (The hungry seas, etc.) Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and
to the Holy Spirit. (The hungry seas, etc.) V - Pray for us, blessed Anthony; R - That we may be made worthy of the
promises of Christ. Let us pray. O God, let the votive commendation of
Blessed Anthony, Thy Confessor, be a source of joy to Thy Church, that she
may always be fortified with spiritual assistance, and may deserve to possess
eternal joy. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. |
