St. Anthony of
Padua
Patron of Seekers of
Lost Articles
Patron of the Poor
"Blessed be God in His angels and in His
saints."
O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, you love
for God and Charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to
possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever
ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I
implore of you to obtain for me (state request here). The answer to my
prayer may require a miracle, even so, you are the Saint of Miracles.
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 folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my
heart will ever be yours. Amen.
Prayer to St. Anthony
Gentle Servant of God St. Anthony, Help me find ways to honor
God's blessings by showing my love for all of God's creatures. Share your
strength that I may cope with the trials and troubles of daily life. You,
through whose voice the Word of God was preached, intercede for my need
(mention your special request here). Powerful Patron, be with me always and
teach me to reach out in love and support to others.
AMEN
Prayer for Lost Objects
Saint Anthony, when you prayed your stolen book of prayers was
given back to you.
Pray now for all of us who have lost things precious and
dear.
Pray for all who have lost faith, hope or the friendship of God.
Pray
for us who have lost friends or relatives by death.
Pray for all who have lost
peace of mind or spirit.
Pray that we may be given new hope, new faith, new
love.
Pray that lost things, needful and helpful to us, may be returned to our
keeping.
Or, if we must continue in our loss, pray that we may be given
Christ's comfort and peace. Amen.
PRAYER TO ST ANTHONY TO FIND LOST ARTICLES
St
Anthony , perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of
restoring lost things, grant that I may find … which has been lost. At least
restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me
even more than my material loss. With this favour I ask another of you; that I
may always remain in possession of the true good that is God. Let me rather
lose all things than lose God, my supreme good. Let me never suffer the loss of
my greatest treasure, eternal life with God. Amen.
A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING TO ST ANTHONY
O
Glorious wonder-worker, St Anthony, father of the poor and comforter of the
afflicted, you who have come with such loving solicitude to my assistance, and
have comforted me so abundantly; behold your feet, here to offer you my
heartfelt thanks.
Accept, therefore, this offering and with it my earnest
promise which I now renew, to live always in the love of Jesus and my
neighbour. Continue to protect me with care and obtain for me the final graces
of being able one day to enter the kingdom of heaven, there to sing with you
the everlasting mercies of God. - Amen
13 June is St. Anthony of Padua's Feast Day
