Second of 13-week devotion: Prayer to St. Anthony of Padua on his Sermon topic of ‘The Power and Authority of Sacred Scripture’
O glorious St. Anthony of Padua, faithful preacher of the Gospel and living Ark of the Testament, you who treasured the Word of God and proclaimed it with wisdom, clarity, and love, pray for me.
Teach me to revere Sacred Scripture as the living voice of God, powerful to instruct, to correct, and to transform the human heart. Help me to approach God’s Word with humility and openness, allowing it to shape my thoughts, guide my actions, and strengthen my faith.
As you used Scripture to dispel error and lead souls back to truth, grant me discernment to recognize what is false and courage to stand firmly upon God’s eternal Word. May the Scriptures not remain only on my lips or in my mind, but be written deeply in my heart and lived faithfully in my daily life.
St. Anthony, obtain for me a love for God’s Word that enlightens my understanding, consoles me in trials,and inspires me to uplift and encourage others. May the power of Sacred Scripture draw me ever closer to Christ, the Word made flesh, who lives and reigns forever. Amen.
