PRAYER
O Glorious St Anthony,
Charitable Protector of all who call upon you,
with filial trust I cast myself on your mercy.
Look upon the misery that oppresses me,
and by your intercession appease the anger of God,
whom I have offended by my sins.
Deliver me from the affliction
that I may serve Him with a mind of peace.
At the same time
should this suffering be expedient for my salvation,
I desire to be resigned
asking you to obtain for me constant patience
and entire conformity to the will of Him Who
for love of us being Himself innocent
gave satisfaction for the guilty.
I beseech you not to forsake me in my misfortunes
and by you merits our dear Lord
may strenghtened us in His service,
console us in our afflictions
and finally give us grace so to live
as to be worthy of life everlasting to praise,
bless and love Him in your company
for ever and ever.
Amen.
