For nearly thirteen years the story of St. Anthony of Padua has been near and dear to me: He is the true miracle worker. Here is an amazing prayer to this blessed saint; St. Anthony's Prayer for Help of the Holy Spirit
'O God, send forth your Holy Spirit upon me; guide all my thoughts and actions so that my whole life will be pleasing to You; be with me in times of trial; stay close to me when I am weak in body and soul; give me the strength, courage and grace to do your Holy will in all things; never let me be separated from You in thought, word, or deed.' Amen
