Unfailing Prayer to Saint Anthony

Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints.

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
of you to obtain 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.

5. Hello, my name is Emanuel Gloria.  I graduated from St. A's in 1991.  I, too, would like to ask for a prayer request.  I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma back in april of this year.  I am at the last stage of this cancer and have recently started chemotherapy.  It turns out that so far i am responding well to the treatment, but I still have a ways to go.  I keep getting compliments on my positive attitude and strength through this ordeal--it all stems from my faith.  However, I know that prayers from others help as well.  So if anyone would like to throw in an "Our Father," or "Hail Mary," or a "Keep the guy in good health" prayer, i would sincerely appreciate it.  
   Thanks, E. Gloria; aka Meme
   
   
6. We mourn the loss of 15 year old St. Anthony Catholic High School student Julian Bocanegra.
