Kościół Twój święty, Boże nasz, niech rozweseli błogosławionego Antoniego wyznawcy Twego uroczyste wspomnienie, abyśmy za jego wstawieniem się wiecznego wesela dostąpić zasłużyli. Amen.

St. Anthony is my particular patron. My mother had a very deep devotion to St. Anthony, and I know his intercession has guided and protected me throughout my life. Thank you for your patronage and protection St. Anthony the Wonder-Worker.

From a Sermon by St. Anthony:

“The man who is filled with the Holy Spirit speaks in different languages. These different languages are different ways of witnessing to Christ, such as humility, poverty, patience, and obedience; we speak in those languages when we reveal in ourselves these virtues to others.”

A Prayer for the help of the Holy Spirit by St. Anthony:

O God, send forth your Holy Spirit into my heart that I may perceive, into my mind that I may remember, and into my soul that I may meditate. Inspire me to speak with piety, holiness, tenderness and mercy. Teach, guide and direct my thoughts and senses from beginning to end. May your grace ever help and correct me, and may I be strengthened now with wisdom from on high, for the sake of your infinite mercy. Amen.
