Devotion to St. Anthony: the prayer that protects families!

Dear Saint Anthony, bless and protect my family by keeping it united in love, support it in its daily needs and keep it safe from harm.
Bless me and my husband (my wife) and help us to live the fruits of our work with dignity so as to have the opportunity to raise and educate the children that the Lord has given us. Bless our children and please keep them healthy and desirous of good. Help them study and do not allow them to lose their faith and purity in the midst of the many occasions of evil in daily life. Help us to understand our children and to guide them through our words and our example so that they always aspire to the noblest ideals of life and can carry out their human and Christian vocation.

Thank you Lord for the great gift of my parents. I pray for them, through the intercession of Saint Anthony of Padua, that they will always live up to their mission. I also pray that they will always be assisted by divine help to provide for my spiritual and bodily well-being. Antonio, help and protect my parents. Send the most amazing graces to them through the Child Jesus, whom you lovingly held in your arms. Help them lead a holy life, and after their earthly labors may they enjoy glory in union with the Holy Trinity.

O God, good and merciful Father, you who have chosen Anthony as a witness to the Gospel and a messenger of peace in the midst of your people, listen to the prayer we address to you through his intercession.
Sanctify every family, help it grow in faith; keep them in unity, peace and serenity. Bless our children, protect our young people. Support those who are tested by sickness, suffering and loneliness.
Support us in the daily difficulties of life and give us your love. Pray for me, for my family and for everyone.
