O great wonder-worker, intercede for me that God may grant my request. Anthony, born under the protection of Mary Immaculate, on the Feast of her Assumption into Heaven, and consecrated to her and now so powerful an intercessor in Heaven, I beseech you to obtain for me the favor I ask in this novena (State your intention). I entreat you to cast a benevolent glance upon me. Anthony, who through your angelic virtue was made worthy to be caressed by the Divine Child Jesus, to hold him in your arms and press him to your heart. O eloquent preacher of the divine mercy, despise not my supplications but, bringing them before the throne of God, strengthen them by your intercession and obtain for me the favor I seek in this novena (State your intention). Animated now with the most lively confidence, even with full conviction of not being refused, I fly for refuge to thee, O most favored friend of the Infant Jesus. Anthony, remember that it never has been heard that you left without help or relief anyone who in his need had recourse to you. One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and Glory Be to the Father, in honor of Saint Anthony. O gentle and loving Saint Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms, and thee gratitude of my heart will always be yours.

The answer to my prayer may require a miracle even so, you are the saint of miracles. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me the favor I seek in this novena (State your intention). Miracles waited your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Anthony, gentlest of saints, your love for God and charity for his creatures made you worthy while on earth to possess miraculous powers. Pray 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, and 1 Glory Be to the Father, in honor of Saint Anthony.

You who were so compassionate toward miserable sinners, regard not the unworthiness of those who pray to you, but the glory of God that it may once again be magnified by the granting of the particular request (State your intention) which I now ask for with persevering earnestness. Anthony, glorious on account of the fame of your miracles, and through the condescension of Jesus in coming in the form of a little child to rest in your arms, obtain for me of His bounty the grace which I ardently desire from the depths of my heart. Anthony of Padua (to be prayed for 9 consecutives days) Say once a day for nine days, especially beginning on 4 June and ending on 12 June, the eve of the Feast of St.
