Prayer to St. Anthony

St. Anthony, glorious for the fame of your miracles, obtain for us from God's mercy the favours that we desire: (Pause - Make your request). Since you were so gracious to poor sinners, do not regard our lack of virtue, but consider the glory of God, which will be exalted once more through you by the granting of our petitions. Glorious wonderworker, Saint Anthony, father of the poor and comforter of the afflicted, we ask for your help.            Amen.
