O wonderful Saint Anthony, glorious on account of the fame of your miracles, and through the condescension of Jesus in coming in the form of a little child to rest in your arms, obtain for me of His bounty the grace which I ardently desire. You who were so compassionate toward miserable sinners, regard not the unworthiness of those who pray to you, but the glory of God that it may once again be magnified by the granting of the particular request which I now ask with persevering earnestness. Amen.

O most powerful protector Saint Anthony of Padua, I am prostrate at your feet, my heart full of gratitude and thanksgiving for the grace you have granted me through my poor prayers. Your powerful intercession was the only hope of relief for my afflictions. O most amiable protector Saint Anthony, I pray that I will never cease to bless and thank you for the grace you have granted me. Thanks be to God for the graces He bestowed on you. Blessed be the Infant Jesus, Who felt the caresses of your sweet hands and rested His head on your breast. Blessed be the Holy Virgin Mary, who loved you so much and guided you in the way of sanctity. Dear Saint Anthony, express my sincere thanks to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit and the Most High Virgin Mary, for ever and ever. Amen.

If then you ask for miracles, Death, error, all calamities, The leprosy and demons fly, And health succeeds infirmities. The sea obeys, and fetters break, And lifeless limbs you do restore, Whilst treasures lost are found again, When young and old your aid implore. All dangers vanish at your prayer, And direst need does quickly flee; Let those who know your power proclaim, Let Paduans say: these are of thee. The sea obeys, and fetters break, And lifeless limbs you do restore, Whilst treasures lost are found again, When young and old your aid implore. To Father, Son, may glory be, And Holy Spirit eternally. The sea obeys, and fetters break, And lifeless limbs you do restore, Whilst treasures lost are found again, When young and old your aid implore.
