Anthony is famous throughout the world as the saint who helps to find lost objects: everyday items, important documents, even the faith itself. The prayer that follows invokes the aid of Saint Anthony in search for what has been lost.
Glorious Saint Anthony, you have exercised the divine power to find what was lost. Help me to recover the grace of God, and make me zealous in the service of God and in the practice of living the virtues. Let me find what I have lost, thus showing me the presence of your goodness.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be)
Let us pray
Anthony, glorious servant of God, famous for your merits and powerful miracles, help us to find what was lost. Give us your help in times of temptation; and enlighten our minds in searching the will of God. Help us to find again the life of grace, which our sin destroyed, and lead us to the possession of the glory promised us by the Savior. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
