Ukuzinikela ku-Saint Anthony kunye nomthandazo wobabalo
Le Tredicina yemveli (inokufundwa kwakhona njengeNovena kunye neTriduum nangaliphi na ixesha lonyaka) iye yavakala kwiNgcweliso yaseS. Antonio eMessina ukusukela kwixesha leNtsikelelo Annibale. Wayeyithanda kwaye wayigqithisela kubantwana bakhe nakuma-Antonia amancinci.
Egameni loYise, unyana noMoya oyiNgcwele. Amen
