Prayer of St. Anthony

stained glass depiction of st. anthonySt. Anthony,
you loved God very much.
Please, help me to love God
more and more
and to share his love
with everyone I meet.
You always tried to obey God.
Help me to do whatever
God asks of me.
Lead me along the paths of the Gospel,
in the footsteps of Jesus.
Teach me to be good and kind to others,
to help them and never to ignore
a poor or sad person.
St. Antony,
you who are so close to God,
pray for me
and for all the people of the world.

Amen
