Transit Saint Anthony of Padua
June 12, 1231: TRANSIT OF SAINT ANTHONY OF PADUA
In Camposampiero, Saint Anthony felt his time was coming and asked to be taken back to Padua, where he wished to die. Taken to the city in a cart pulled by oxen, he had to stop at the hospice of the Poor Clares of Arcella: the brothers took him into a cell, fearing the devout crowd. Lying on the ground, he received extreme unction. After singing the hymn "O gloriosa Domina" and reciting the words "Video Dominum meum" (I see my Lord), he died at the age of 36.
The Franciscan chaplet is recited with the saint's own litanies.
