PRAYER TO SAINT ANTHONY OF PADUA,
THE WONDER WORKER
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.
Dear Jesus,
Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick,
we turn to You in this time of illness.
O dearest Comforter of the Troubled,
alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love,
and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden.
Dear God,
we place our worries in Your hands.
We ask that You restore Your servant, Chuck, to health again.
Above all,
grant us the grace to acknowledge Your holy will
and know that whatsoever You do,
You do for the love of us.
Amen.
