Dear St Anthony, bless and protect my family, keep it united in love, assist it in its necessities and remove from it all evil. Bless me and my spouse: enable us always to have work and what we need to live honest lives and to bring up the children that the Lord has given us. Bless our children, keep them in good health and full of the desire to do good, help them in their studies, keep them from evil and do not allow them to lose their faith. Enable us to always be able to understand our children and to guide them by word and example. May they always aspire to the most beautiful ideals and to those they can achieve in their human and Christian vocation. Amen.”
