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 miracles. 

Miracles waiting on your word,

which you were ever ready to speak

for those in trouble or anxiety.

Encouraged by this thought,

I implore you to obtain for me.

The answer to my prayer may require a miracle,

even so, you are the Saint of Miracles.

O gentle and loving St. Anthony,

whose heart was ever full of human sympathy,

whisper my petition into the ear of the Sweet Infant Jesus,

who loved to be folded in your arms. 

The gratitude of my heart will ever be yours.
