God, who  among  the  many  wonders  of  thy  wisdom dost endue  some,  even  in  tender  years,  with  the  grace of ripest  holiness:  grant  unto  us,  we  beseech  thee,  after  the pattern of  blessed  Stanislaus,  to  be  instant  in  good  works, and thus  to  make  speed  to  enter  into  everlasting  rest.

t. Anthony,  we  beseech   thee,  obtain  for  us  the grace that  we  desire. St. Anthony,  great  wonder-worker,  intercede  for  us  that God may  grant  us  our  request,  if  it  be  for  the  good  of  our soul.

St. Anthony, be  our  patron,  our  protector,  and  our  advocate in  life  and  in  death.

St. Anthony,  attentive  to  those  who  invoke  thee,  grant us the  aid  of  thy  powerful  intercession  for  the  grace  of  holy purity, meekness,  humility,  obedience,  the  spirit  of  poverty, and  perfect  abandonment  to  the  will  of  God.

St. Anthony,  glory  of  the  Church  and  hammer  of  heretics, pray  for  our  Holy  Father,  our  bishops,  our  priests, our Religious  Orders,  that,  through  their  pious  zeal  and apostolic labors,  infidels,  heretics,  and  all  those  outside the true  Church  of  Christ  may  be  converted  and,  united in faith,  give  greater  glory  to  God.

St. Anthony,  servant  of  Mary,  obtain  for  us  greater devotion to  the  blessed  Mother  of  God.

St. Anthony,  obtain  for  us  the  grace  of  perseverance,  the grace of  a  happy  death.
