1 - O Saint Anthony, candid and sweet lily of virginity, precious gem of poverty, example of abstinence, very pure mirror of purity, splendid star of holiness, splendor of Paradise, column of the holy Church, preacher of Grace, exterminator of vices, sower of virtue, comforter of the afflicted, most ardent flame of divine charity and pure love, bright light of Spain and Italy, emulator of the seraphic father San Francesco, lover of peace and unity, contemptuous of worldly vanity, light of the saint Catholic faith, martyr of desire, glorious triumph of heretics, great operator of miracles, very safe refuge of all those who resort to you: you deserved to hold the Son of the Most High in your holy arms; with your ardent sermons you have kindled the flame of divine charity in the mind of sinners.
Therefore I, miserable sinner, humbly beg you to welcome me under your powerful protection, obtain the true contrition of my sins, the humble knowledge of my misery, the gift of mourning my sins, the taste and fervor of prayer, the firm resistance to evil and the gift of contemplation of God, beauty and infinite goodness.
And being you the most ardent flame of divine love, light my warm and cold heart with the fire of divine charity so as to make me always despise myself, the world, the flesh and the devil and make me advance by virtue in virtue so that, living in constant fervor and dying of the death of the Saints, you deserve, for your patronage, to be associated with them in heavenly glory. Amen.
Glory to the Father ...

If you seek miracles,
death, error, misfortunes,
leprosy, diseases, spirits

The senses, and the members heal themselves,
you find what has been lost,
by the old and the young.
The dangers are gone
and miseries cease

with the Padovans say it.
Glory be to the Father,
and also to the Divine Son,
together with the Holy Spirit,
who make him a great saint.
Pray for us, o S. Antonio
so that we are made worthy of
promises of Jesus Christ.
LET US PRAY: O Lord, we implore you to intercede for us the graces, which we need so much, your blessed Confessor and Doctor Antonio, whom you made and make ever more glorious with continuous miracles and wonders. For Christ our Lord. Amen.
