Prayer to Saint Anthony
Saint Anthony of Padua (or Lisbon) was a Franciscan friar and Doctor of the Church, renowned for his eloquent preaching and miracles. He is widely known as the patron saint of lost things, travelers, and the poor. This prayer invokes his powerful intercession for help and protection in various needs.
Remember, O glorious Saint Anthony, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O my beloved Saint Anthony, and ardently implore your protection. Do not despise my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer them. Amen.
When to pray
It is traditionally prayed on his feast day, June 13, or at any time of need, especially when searching for something lost.
