The Tredicina|13 Day novena to Saint Anthony| Day -4|Friend of Christ

A Tredicina or a 13 Day Novena is a prayer which is said over thirteen days. It is more common to say a novena (prayer over 9 days) to the Saints and to the Virgin Mary. But in the devotion to saint Anthony of Padua, the number 13 has a particular significance because it relates to the date of his death: June 13th, 1231.
Day 4 : The friend of Christ
"Saint Anthony, you who overcame the temptations of the devil through the power of the Cross, render us strong and generous to resist evil. With you, may we be true announcers of the Gospel.” (mention prayer request)
Glory be to the Father....
