Dearest Saint Anthony,

God blessed you with great wisdom, compassion, and holiness, making you a powerful intercessor for those who turn to you. From your heavenly place, watch over our family, as we entrust ourselves to your care.

Strengthen the bonds of love and unity within our family. Teach us forgiveness, understanding, and selflessness in serving one another, so that we may reflect Christ’s love in our lives. Bring peace to our hearts, especially in moments of anxiety, sorrow, or confusion. Help us to trust in God’s will, even when life feels overwhelming.

Saint Anthony, I ask your intercession for those in our family, and in all families, who are suffering in body, mind, or spirit. Grant us healing, comfort, and strength. May our pain and trials lead to spiritual growth and a deeper union with God.

I ask for your prayers for those who have strayed from the faith. Touch their hearts with your powerful intercession and guide them back to the Church and the Sacraments. May they rediscover the joy of knowing and loving God, and find a welcoming home in the Church.

Help our family to be faithful disciples of Christ. Obtain for us the grace to grow in faith, hope, and love, and to seek God’s will in all we do. Guide us in this life and grant us motivation, clarity, and perseverance, so we may use the gifts God has given us to serve others and glorify Him.

Finally, I pray for inner peace—the kind of peace that comes from trusting completely in God’s love and providence. Help us to let go of resentments, bitterness, and fears, and to embrace the peace that only Christ can give.

Our faithful patron and friend, thank you for your constant care, guidance, and intercession. 

Stay close to us, dear Saint Anthony, as we navigate the joys and challenges of life. May we always seek to live in the light of God’s love and mercy, and may we one day join you in the eternal joy of Heaven.

Amen.
