Prayer
(From the Roman Missal)
O God, who among the many wonders of thy wisdom dost endue some, even in tender years, with the grace of ripest holiness: grant unto us, we beseech thee, after the pattern of blessed Stanislaus, to be instant in good works, and thus to make speed to enter into everlasting rest.
Aspirations to St. Anthony of Padua to Obtain Various Graces
St. Anthony, we beseech thee, obtain for us the grace that we desire. St. Anthony, great wonder-worker, intercede for us that God may grant us our request, if it be for the good of our soul.
St. Anthony, be our patron, our protector, and our advocate in life and in death.
St. Anthony, attentive to those who invoke thee, grant us the aid of thy powerful intercession for the grace of holy purity, meekness, humility, obedience, the spirit of poverty, and perfect abandonment to the will of God.
St. Anthony, glory of the Church and hammer of heretics, pray for our Holy Father, our bishops, our priests, our Religious Orders, that, through their pious zeal and apostolic labors, infidels, heretics, and all those outside the true Church of Christ may be converted and, united in faith, give greater glory to God.
St. Anthony, servant of Mary, obtain for us greater devotion to the blessed Mother of God.
St. Anthony, obtain for us the grace of perseverance, the grace of a happy death.
