Novena Prayer to Saint Anthony

31. Novena Prayer to Saint Anthony O White Lily of Purity, sublime example of poverty, true mirror of humility, resplendent star of sanctity, O glorious Saint Anthony, who did enjoy the sweet privilege of receiving into thy arms the Infant Jesus, I beseech thee to take me under thy powerful protection. Thou, in whom the power of working miracles shines forth among the other gifts of God, have pity upon me and come to my aid in this great need (here make your petition). Cleanse my heart from every disorderly affection, obtain for me the grace of true contrition for my sins, and a great love of God and neighbour that serving God faithfully in this life, 1 may come to praise, enjoy and bless Him eternally with thee in paradise. Amen.
