O St Anthony, you who have been blessed by God with great wisdom and a profound knowledge of the Scriptures, we turn to you with humble supplication and great devotion. Your love for the Word of God and your compassion for the weakest are an example to us all, and we recognise you as a powerful intercessor.
O Saint Anthony, you who were called by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the truth of the Gospel, intercede for us with our heavenly Father. May we be faithful witnesses of the Christian faith, ready to share the Good News with those in need of hope and comfort.
O St Anthony, you who were a peacemaker and comforter of the afflicted, pray for all who suffer in the world. Grant them the grace of consolation, healing and inner peace, and may your gentle intercession comfort them in their trials.
O Saint Anthony, you who found the words of eternal life in the Scriptures, intercede for us in our present needs, especially [mention your personal intentions here]. We know that you are the saint of lost things, and we trust in your power of intercession.
O Saint Anthony, you who preached God's love in word and deed, help us to love our neighbour, to forgive and to serve with humility. May our lives be a reflection of God's unconditional love for us.
St Anthony, we thank you for your example of holiness and for your intercession in our needs. May your prayer continue to obtain graces for the Church and for all who turn to you in faith.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, we pray. Amen.
Saint Anthony of Padua, pray for us.
