St. Anthony may help us find keys or or wallets when we lose them, but have you ever prayed to this great saint to help you find healing, wholeness, wellness, or peace? It’s the intangibles that matter most, and he’s ready to assist us in finding them as well. Anthony’s mission was to bring people into closer union with God: through Scripture, through prayer, through community. In fact, he’s praying for you right now. Let’s take a moment to return the favor…
God of all saints,
you beautified the world with your beloved son, Anthony.
Teach me to speak as he spoke,
to love as he loved,
and to look at your horizon with the same bold hope.
Send your messenger
to be at my side as I journey onward.
Let him find me again and again.
Amen.
1 thought on “Prayer for St. Anthony”
Several years ago I had commented in St. Anthony magazine
that it was my mother, in her devout prayers to St. Anthony and from her place in heaven who brought me home to my faith, my family, and the community of my birth parish. I was found.
Today, my birthday 75 years ago, I see the Christ Child, whom she loved so dearly, holding Him and waving.
