Dear Saint Anthony, you who always bless those who have recourse to you with confidence, I pray to you with fervor for a sick person who is dear to me. I beg you to obtain for them the gift of healing, or at least that their sufferings may be relieved and that they may have the strength to offer them to God in union with the passion of Christ. You who in your earthly life was the friend of the sick and who devoted yourself to them through charity and the gift of miracles, stay by us to protect us, to give comfort to our heart and ensure that our physical and moral sufferings may become sources of merits for eternal life. Amen.”
