The Lyrics of the Hymn to St. Anthony Zaccaria 

Saint Anthony Mary, O model of virtues
Our glorious Protector, our homage accept.
As we celebrate you, in heavenly glory,
Our oath of allegiance to you we renew.
Our oath of allegiance to you we renew.

As standard you lifted, the Cross of salvation,
The faithful inviting to fight and to win:
To banish lukewarmness, the worst foe of Christians,
The Church making perfect, rejoicing in Christ.
The Church making perfect, rejoicing in Christ.

The Eucharist preaching, you lover of Jesus,
The means of perfection to souls back you gave.
Will you be more faithful to Christian perfection?
You told them: come, share in the breaking of bread.
You told them: come, share in the breaking of bread.

You took as a pattern Saint Paul, the Apostle,
The Doctor of Nations you followed and loved.
We also your children, with love and in study
Do promise to follow exemplar so great.
Do promise to follow exemplar so great.

Remember O Father, Saint Anthony Mary,
Your family grateful here kneeling in prayer.
Present as your children, to God of all Mercy;
May ever you lead us to heaven above.
May ever you lead us to heaven above.

Correte Come Matti

Listen on Posterous

 

   

Correte Come Matti  Italian Era giovane era ricco sai,  Ma questo non bastava Alla sua vita. Nel Vangelo che leggeva lui Il senso ritrovava Alla sua vita. E poi un giorno con sua madre Lui parlò Con lei comprese Che esser perfetto e stare dietro Gesù Cristo fin lassù Sulla sua croce Dietro una voce La sua voce. A Cremona e a Milano poi            A tutti raccontava Il Suo vangelo E ogni cuore tiepido con lui Di fuoco diventava La fede cresceva. E poi un giorno lui san Paolo Incontrò Cosi comprese Che esser perfetto è diventare un solo Spirito con Dio Con la sua croce Qui nel cuore mio. SI CORRETE COME MATTI E ANDATE VERSO DIO E VERSO GLI ALTRI COME ME E SIATE VERI E GRANDI SANTI           ANDANDO VERSO DIO VERSO GLI ALTRI SIATE SANTI INSIEME A ME Sono giovane e anche ricco sai Ma questo non mi basta Per la mia vita. E nel Vangelo che leggeva lui Voglio ritrovare Senso alla vita Cosi un giorno con gli amici Proverò Anche a capire Che essere perfetto è diventare un solo Spirito con Dio      Con la sua croce Qui nel cuore mio.

Run Like Madmen English He was young and rich you know but this was not enough in his life In the Gospel which he read he found again the sense  of his life And one day with his mother he then spoke With her he understood that to be perfect is to follow Jesus Christ till up there on his cross  behind a voice His voice.   Then in Cremona and in Milan he proclaimed His Gospel to everyone And every tepid heart with him Was inflamed greatly the faith grew Then one day St. Paul he encountered thus he then understood That to be perfect Is to become one Spirit with God with His cross Here in my heart.   Refrain: YES, YOU RUN  LIKE MADMEN AND, GO TOWARD GOD, TOWARD OTHERS JUTS LIKE ME AND YOU HAVE TO BE REAL AND GREAT SAINTS GOING TOWARD GOD, TOWARD OTHERS BE SAINTS TOGETHER WITH ME   I am young and also rich you know But this is not enough For my life And in the Gospel which he read I want to find again The sense of my life So that one day with my friends I will try also to understand That to be perfect Is to become one Spirit with God with His cross Here in my heart.   Coda: Yes, you run like madmen   (Yes, you run like madmen) And you have to be real and great saints Going toward God Toward others  Together with me...
