On the medal:
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 seas forgo 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 of her patron tell.
The hungry seas forgo their prey, The prisoner's cruel chains give way;
While palsied limbs and chattels lost, Both young and old recovered boast.
Glory Be
The hungry seas forgo their prey, The prisoner's cruel chains give way;
While palsied limbs and chattels lost, Both young and old recovered boast.
Pray for us Blessed Anthony, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray, O God.  Let the votive commemoration 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.
