After you died, Saint Anthony, God chose to make your holiness known to the world and to draw people by working miracles in answer to prayers made in your name.
Since then, people have asked God to continue to honor you by working wonders through your intercession.
Those who have experienced the power of prayers offered in your name have told how God has answered them.
God has healed the sick, restored peace of mind, relieved poverty and granted favors of all kinds.
Now in this time of need, I ask you, Saint Anthony, to pray with me for the things I desire.
I pray that God may again give us a sign of loving care and providence and that, through you, God may draw us all to the fullness of life and love in eternity. Amen.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where this is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled
as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life
