Prayer to St. Anthony

O blessed St. Anthony, the grace of God has made you a powerful advocate in all our needs and the patron for the restoring of things lost or stolen.

I turn to you today with childlike love and deep confidence. You have helped countless children of God to find the things they have lost, material things, and, more importantly, the spiritual gifts of our holy religion.

(Mention your request)

Dear St. Anthony, help me to find the spiritual treasures that I have lost through my negligence, lukewarmness, or carelessness.

Help me to find again:

- The grace of fervent prayer

- The gift of peace of mind

- The virtue of patience and humility

- The spirit of charity towards my neighbor

O holy St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms. The gratitude of my heart will ever be yours.

Amen.
