Prayer to Anthony of Padua: Most holy St. Anthony, beloved friend of Jesus, I place myself in your heavenly care. Be with me, especially in life's troubles and difficulties, intercede before the Lord for me, so that I may confidently know I do not face my problems alone. I join my prayers to yours, as I ask God to give me consolation in times of sorrow, courage when I am afraid and healing from all the ills that afflict me. Amen. ( Make your petition).
