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 (mention your request here). 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 by yours. |
