unfailing prayer to Saint Anthony

Prayer:

"Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints"

O Holy St. Anthony,

gentlest of Saints,

your love for God and Charity for His creatures

made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers.

Encouraged by this thought,

I implore you to obtain for me (request).

O gentle and loving St. Anthony,

whose heart was ever full of human sympathy,

whisper my petition into the ears of the sweet Infant Jesus,

who loved to be folded in your arms;

and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours.

Amen.

Good St. Anne,

you were especially favored by God

until we meet again prayer (a Jesus Christ's Easter Blessing)

Prayer:

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

May the rain fall soft upon your fields,

And, until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

[Oh God,]

Grant us a common faith

prayer (to Saint Therese de Lisieux) for guidance

Prayer:
Govern by all Thy Wisdom, O Lord,
so that my soul may always be serving Thee
as Thou dost Will,
and not as I may choose.
Do not punish me, I beseech Thee,
by granting that which I wish or ask if it offended Thy Love,
which would always live in me.
Let me die to myself, so that I may love Thee.
Let me live to Thee, Who art in Thyself, the True Life.
Dear St. Therese,
guide me in your Little Way,
so that I may ascend to the heights and happiness of Heaven.
Amen.
