Novena to St. Anthony

I salute you with all my heart; I salute you a thousand times, O St. Anthony. You are a chosen vessel of divine grace. Jesus is with you. You are blessed as the most admirable son of the Seraphic Father, Francis. Remember, O miraculous Saint, that you never fail to help and console him who invokes you in his need. Animated with great confidence and the certitude of not praying in vain, I have recourse to you, who are so rich in grace, and the most fortunate friend of the Infinite Jesus.

O St. Anthony, Saint of miracles, Saint of help, I too have need of your assistance. I have need of this special favor (mention your request). Therefore, console me in my present necessity and give me the help that, with full confidence, I hope for. Bless me, O great Saint, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
