Novena to St. Anthony of Padua – Day 3 | Saint Anthony, Friend of the Poor

Welcome to Day 3 of the Novena to St. Anthony of Padua, the great Franciscan saint known as the Friend of the Poor. His compassionate heart and generous spirit continue to inspire us to love and serve those in need. 🕊️ Theme: Saint Anthony, Friend of the Poor 🙏 Today we honor St. Anthony's deep love for the poor and suffering. He not only preached the Gospel with power but lived it with simplicity and charity. His concern for the poor reflected Christ’s own Heart, and his legacy of generosity lives on, especially through St. Anthony’s Bread—a tradition of giving to the needy in his name. 💬 Prayer Intention: Today, let us pray for the grace to love the poor as Christ loves them. May we be moved to works of mercy, and may St. Anthony intercede for all in material or spiritual need. 📖 “What you do for the least of these, you do for Me.” — Matthew 25:40 📌 Walk with us daily until June 13, the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua, as we grow in faith and devotion through this powerful novena. 🌹 Like, comment your intentions below, and share this novena with those in need of hope and help. 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the bell icon so you never miss a day of this prayerful journey. #StAnthonyNovena #SaintAnthonyOfPadua #FriendOfThePoor #Day3Novena #DivineMercyForCatholics #FranciscanSaint #CatholicYouTube #CatholicSaints #StAnthonysBread #PrayerForThePoor #WorksOfMercy
