Prayer to St. Anthony

Wondrous Saint Anthony, 

Glorious for the fame of your miracles, 

You had the happiness of receiving in your arms 

Our blessed Lord as a little child. 

Obtain for me from His mercy this favor 

That I desire from the bottom of my heart: 

(mention your request)

Since you were so gracious to poor sinners, 

do not regard the lack of merit on the part of him 

who calls upon you, but consider the glory of God, 

which will by exalted once more through you, 

by the salvation of my soul and 

the granting of the petition that 

I now earnestly present to you.

As a pledge of my gratitude, 

I beg you to accept my promise to live 

henceforth more faithfully according 

to the teaching of the Gospel and to be devoted 

to the service of the poor whom you ever loved 

and still love so much. Bless this my resolution 

and obtain for me the grace 

to be faithful to it till death. 

Amen.

Prayer for help in finding missing items

This prayer to St. Anthony asks for help in finding missing items:

Saint Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God 

The special power of restoring lost things, 

Grant that I may find (mention your petition) 

Which has been lost. 

As least restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, 

The loss of which has afflicted me 

Even more than my material loss.

To this favor I ask another of you: 

That I may always remain 

In possession of the true good that is God. 

Let me rather lose all things than lose God, 

My supreme good. 

Let me never suffer the loss of my greatest treasure, 

Eternal life with God. 

Amen.

Prayer for a Drug Addict

Prayer for a Drug Addict

Dear Saint Jude,

Drug addiction has caused 

A terrible upset in my family.

The victim of this self-inflicted sickness

Has lost all sense of true reality -

The reality of love as well as 

The reality of life.

Beg Almighty God to make this addict

Aware that the true euphoria

Can only be found in heaven

And not with chemical dependence

Amen.

Prayer for Health

Prayer for Health

Saint Jude,

I have not the strength to pray as I ought

Nothing is able to give me any relief.

My courage is faltering, impatience and loneliness

Are clouding my mind and my heart.

Obtain for me, Saint Jude,

the courage and resignation to accept

All these trials from the hand of God with faith and patience.

If it is for the good of my soul,

Grant that I may recover my former health

So that I may be of assistance to others.

Amen
