Oh Saint Anthony, powerful intercessor, I beg you to take fatherly care of my soul, of my body, of the things in which I am involved and of my whole life; nothing will do me harm as long as I am under such a protector. Present my requests to the Father of Mercies so that for your merits, he may deign to strengthen me in his service, to console me in my afflictions, to deliver me of all harm and give me the strength to bear with such things for the good of my soul.

You who have received the privilege of enabling the finding of lost things, help me in my conscience, if such is the will of God, to find peace, of which the loss afflicts me more than any other thing in the world… To these graces add that of remaining firm in my faith and never to separate myself from God to whom I owe honour and thanksgiving, now and forever. Amen.”
