The Chaplet
of St. Anthony
From the Friars of the
Basilica of St. Anthony,
in Padua, Italy.
You can pray this novena
to St. Anthony
for any need or intention.
The Miraculous
Responsory
or ‘Si Quaeris’
This prayer of praise in honor of
St. Anthony was composed by Giuliano
da Spira. lt is sung frequently in
the Basilica of St. Anthony in Padua and
every Tuesday throughout the world.
If then you ask for miracles,
Death, error, all calamities,
Leprosy and demons fly,
And health succeeds infìrmities.
The sea obeys and fetters break,
And lifeless limbs do you restore;
Whilst treasures lost are found again,
Men young and old your aid implore.
All dangers vanish at your prayer,
The direst need does quickly flee.
Let those who know your power proclaim,
Let Paduans say: these are of thee.
To Father, Son may glory be
And Holy Spirit, eternally.
