St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints,
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 ready to speak
for those in trouble or anxiety.
Encouraged by this thought,
I ask you to obtain for me the
favors that I seek
(here mention your request.)
The answer to my prayer
may require a miracle, even so,
you are the Saint of Miracles.
O gentle and loving St. Anthony,
whose heart was full of sympathy,
whisper my petition into the ears
of the Infant Jesus, who loved to
be held in your arms; and the
gratitude of my heart will ever
be yours.
Amen.
