St. Anthony of Padua Comments
Saint Anthony was canonized (declared a saint) less than one year after his death. There is perhaps no more loved and admired saint in the Catholic Church than Saint Anthony of Padua, a Doctor of the Church. Though his work was in Italy, he was born in Portugal.

St. Anthony of Padua, Glorious for your miracles And for the condescension of Jesus In coming as a little child to repose in your arms, obtain for me from his bounty the grace which I ardently desire. You who were so compassionate towards sinners, regard not my unworthiness, but the glory of God, that it may be magnified by you in connection with the particular request which I now earnestly present to you. Please hear my petition for my son KC to be healthy & stop the anxiety attacks & vomiting which he has now been suffering from for about 7 days. As a pledge of my gratitude, I beg you to accept my promise to live more faithfully in accordance with the teachings of the Church, and to be devoted to the service of the poor whom you loved and still love so greatly. Bless this my resolution, that I may be faithful to it even until death. St. Anthony, consoler of all the afflicted, Pray for me. St. Anthony, whom the infant Jesus so much loved and honored, Pray for me. Amen.
Dear St Anthony, my patron and my guiding light, intercede for me with the Lord, who I know will never let you down as He has shown in your lifetime because of your committment to give testimony to Him. Ask Him to help me love Him more each day that passes as I know that without His constant help I can achieve nothing. I accept His will in whatever I face, both favourable and unfavourable circumstances in life. All the sufferings I encounter I take as His way of telling me that He is mindful of me and what better gift can one receive than that of knowing the one is in the mind of the Lord Creator. Dear St Anthony, for whom I have always had great devotion and whom I have adopted since my childhood as my guide, please continue to walk this journey alongside me and help me out during all the diifcult moments of my life. Help me pray in the way you used to pray and rejoice in the thought that Our Lord and His Blessed Mother (and our Mother) Mary are always there to hear us and shower their blessings on us. Thank you dear St Anthony. Even in the cacophony of today's world, with all its distractions, you are still relevant and important in my life.
St. Anthony please guide my son in the right direction to find a job. You have guided him in many paths to find lost and needed items since a small child. Please guide him and watch over him. Please help others in need asking for your help that their prayers will be answered. .St. Anthony, Thank you.
Saint Anthony - blessed is God and God's holy interventions. After prayers to dear St. Anthony for a solid life and a job, I believe I was visited by the Saint. I gave a car ride to a man in Austin, Texas who said he was Anthony Johnson. In my car, he said "your cup is empty until you give fully", and hugged me as I dropped him off at his destination. His hug took all my burdens away, and he vanished as the car door closed. I spent the night in a chapel meditating. On return home, a message on my phone said that i had received a new job. The next day was the Feast of Saint Anthony June 13,1991.
thank you for the blessing and the grace you have . I love you Lord Jesus Christ ..
St Anthony! Please guide our missing kitty Ouija (Wee-Gee) back to us safe and sound. Today is Christmas Day and we haven't seen him since Tuesday. There has been no sign of him. I am heart broken and have gotten little to no sleep for the passed several days. He is such a sweet baby and we need to have him back in our home!
