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.
