Prayers to Saint Anthony

1. O Lord, you have made Saint Anthony an apostle of the Gospel.

This prayer of praise, or responsorial, in honour of Saint Anthony was composed by friar Julian of Speyer. The responsorial is part of the Officium rhythmicum S.

Oh dear Saint Anthony, I am close to your blessed tomb.

Dear Saint Anthony, I extend my prayer to you, confident in your compassionate goodness, which can listen and console everyone: be my intercessor before the Lord.

Anthony is famous throughout the world as the saint who helps to find lost objects:  everyday items, important documents, even the faith itself.

Dear Saint Anthony, bless and protect my family; keep it united in love, sustain it in its everyday needs, and keep it safe from evil.

Thank you Lord for the great gift of my own parents.

O God, good and merciful Father, you who chose Anthony as a witness of the Gospel and messenger of peace in the midst of your people, hear the prayer we address to you through his intercession.

Dear Anthony, you have always helped those who invoked you. I fervently pray for a sick  person so dear to me.

Admirable Anthony, so glorious for your miracles and for the favor that Jesus showed on you by coming in the guise of the Divine Child to rest in your arms, obtain from His goodness the grace I long for within my heart.
