Praying with St. Anthony
At the heart of being a Companion of St. Anthony is our daily call to prayer. Below we offer various prayers asking for St. Anthony’s intercession for all life’s many blessings and challenges. The following prayers (and more) are available in a full-color pocket-size softcover prayer book, available for purchase on Friar Shop.
Litany of the Lost
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy. Christ has mercy.
Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy.
(The response for the following petitions is: St. Anthony, pray for us)
For those of us who have lost . . .
our health,
our peace of mind,
our housing,
our financial security,
a loved one,
our dreams,
our talents,
our initial zeal,
our sobriety,
our faith,
our self-respect,
our perspective,
our innocence,
peace within our families,
civil peace,
our trust in others,
our virtue,
our home
(Please add your own particular loss)
Lamb of God,
You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. (3 times)
Let us pray,
All loving God,
You have given us St. Anthony, the patron of the lost,
as an intercessor of those
who are in need of your mercy.
Listen to his voice
as he calls out to You
on our behalf,
and grant those things
which will help us grow
in Your love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
