Prayers to Saint Anthony

Students' Prayer to St. Anthony

O Glorious St. Anthony, divinely filled with the science of the saints, I place my studies under your powerful protection. After your example let my knowledge be grounded in the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary.

With the aid of your prayers, I propose to perform my studies as a matter of duty, with a pure intention and in a spirit of penance. Implore the Father of Light to grant me a ready understanding, a sound judgement and a faithful memory. Obtain for me the grace to work with constancy, patience and method. Help me to develop the gifts I have received from God, and to employ them for His greater glory. Pray God to bless my efforts, granting me success in my studies and keeping me humble in the midst of success.  Amen

Prayer to find What is Lost

Since your death, St. Anthony, the Lord has worked countless wonders and answered countless people's prayers because of your loving prayer for them. Those who have experienced the power of prayer offered through you have told how God was pleased to help them in their need, restoring peace of mind, healing the sick, finding what was lost, spiritual or material. Now in our need we ask you to pray for each of us that we may continue to share in God's loving care and protection and through you be drawn to eternal life.

Personal Prayer to St. Anthony

Dear St. Anthony, I turn to you to ask for your protection. Remember me, you who have always helped and consoled whoever asked your intercession in their time of need. Animated with great hope and with the certainty of not praying in vain, I turn to you who are so rich in merits before the Lord. Grant that my petition may, through your intercession, reach the Father of Mercy. Come to my aid and obtain for me the graces that I ardently implore if they are for the good of my soul. Bless my work and my family, keep far away all dangers to soul and body. Grant that in the hour of sorrow and being tested, I may remain strong in the faith and in the love of God.    Amen
