Oh God, Good and Merciful Father, you who have chosen St Anthony as witness of the Gospel and messenger of peace to your people, listen to the prayer that we are sending you through his intercession. Make each family holy, help it to grow in the faith; keep it in unity, peace, serenity. Bless our sons [and daughters], protect the young people. Help those who suffer from illness, pain and solitude. Uphold us in the tiredness of each day by giving us your love. Amen”
