Prayer to St. Anthony

O Holy St. Anthony,
gentlest of saints,
your love for God and charity for His creatures
made you worthy to possess miraculous powers.

Encouraged by this thought,
I implore you to obtain for me (mention your request).
O gentle and loving 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 held in your arms,
and the gratitude of my heart will be ever yours.

Amen.

This prayer is often recited by those seeking St. Anthony’s intercession, especially when searching for lost items or in times of great need.
