O Holy St Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers.
Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to grant this for me (request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you are the Saint of Miracles.
O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.
Day 4:
St. Anthony, the world confidently turns toward you and experiences your tender compassion and powerful assistance in so many necessities and sufferings. Obtain for me the grace I desire by obtaining a favorable answer to my request in this Novena, and provide guidance to those who question the sanctity of life. (Italics mine.)
Close with Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to the Father, St Anthony Pray for Us.
