To the sick you gave back health, you restored what was lost and the sorrow stricken were the objects of your tender compassion.Įncouraged by this thought and convinced of the efficacy of your holy intercession, I kneel before your holy image and full of confidence, I implore you to obtain for me the favour that I now need. O Holy Saint Anthony, the gentlest and kindest of all Saints, your burning love of God, your exalted virtues and your great charity towards your fellow creatures made you worthy, when on earth to possess miraculous powers such as were given to no other saint.
