O wondrous St. Anthony,
glorious for the fame of your miracles,
you had the happiness of receiving
our Blessed Lord
under the guise of a little child.
Obtain for me from God's mercy
this favor that I desire
from the bottom of my heart:
(Mention your request).
Since you were so gracious to poor sinners,
do not regard my lack of merit
but consider the glory of God
that will be exalted once more through you
for the salvation of my soul
and the granting of the petition
that I now earnestly present to you.
As a pledge of my gratitude,
I beg you to accept my promise
to live henceforth more in conformity
with the teachings of the Gospel
and to be devoted to the service of the poor
whom you ever loved
and continue to love so greatly.
Bless this resolution of mine --
and obtain for me the grace
to be faithful to it even until death.
Amen.
