Dear Saint Anthony,
I salute you as my
powerful patron before God.
You know how much we yearn
for happiness and how often
and how stubbornly we seek
it in the wrong places.
but only in God Himself,
the source of all good.
Beg for us, powerful Saint Anthony,
the grace of an understanding heart.
Then, we will see the image of God
in all those we meet and in every creature.
Let our hearts always be fixed
on the true source of our joy,
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
