Prayer to Saint Anthony of
Padua
Holy Saint Anthony, gentle and powerful in your help, your love for God and
charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous
powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were always ready to request for
those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain
for me [request]. The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you
are the Saint of miracles. Gentle and loving Saint Anthony, whose heart is ever
full of human sympathy, take my petition to the Infant Savior for whom you have
such a great love, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.
