Gebet

Responsory of Saint Anthony (Si Quaeris Miracula)

Si quaeris mirácula,
If then you ask for miracles,
mors, error, calámitas,
death, error, all calamities,
daemon, lepra fúgiunt,
the leprosy and demons fly,
aegri surgunt sani.
and health succeeds infirmities.
Cedunt mare, víncula;
The sea obeys and fetters break,
membra resque pérditas
and lifeless limbs you do restore;
petunt et accípiunt
while treasures lost are found again,
iúvenes et cani.
when young or old your aid implore.
Péreunt perícula,
All dangers vanish at your prayer,
cessat et necéssitas;
and direst need doth quickly flee;
narrent hi qui séntiunt,
let those who know your power proclaim,
dicant Paduáni.
let Paduans say: these are of thee.
Cedunt mare, víncula;
The sea obeys and fetters break,
membra resque pérditas
and lifeless limbs you do restore;
petunt et accípiunt
while treasures lost are found again,
iúvenes et cani.
when young or old your aid implore.
— Julian of Speyer, 13th century
