Approach the spiritual heart of this Shrine in silence. This is the place where pilgrims place their hands on the green marble slab covering our Saint’s Tomb. This gesture is accompanied by the silent prayer of the heart. The Saint welcomes you with joy, he warmly takes you into his care and invites you to remain under his protection.
Oh Lord, though St. Anthony’s intercession,
enlighten my heart; grant me faith and courage
in the trials of life; bless my Christian path.
Grant me the grace I am praying for…
