require a miracle; even so, you are the saint of miracles. O gentle and loving

Saint Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my

petition into the ears of the Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms, and

thee gratitude of my heart will always be yours.

One Our Father, one Hail Mary, and Glory Be to the Father, in honor of Saint

Anthony. Saint Anthony, pray for us!
