Saint Anthony, I kindly ask for your assistance in all my needs and the petitions I present, in God's name. Please help my daughter and her boyfriend, shielding them from offending our Lord. Grant him strength to overcome his various addictions, and guide them to become a strong, loving couple. Provide them with meaningful work that brings happiness and success. Most importantly, draw them closer to our Lord, our Heavenly Mother, and Jesus. Support everyone I have promised to pray for, guiding them to find the answers they seek. Additionally, help all those who have no one praying for them, whether they are alive or departed. Lift up the youth of our world, especially those I know personally. Lead them closer to our Heavenly Mother, Heavenly Father, and Jesus. Please pray for the souls in Purgatory, especially those on my list. Finally, I ask for Your help with my finances—may I be able to pay my debts, repair what needs fixing, and perhaps undertake a pilgrimage to Guadalupe.
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in heaven on earth and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
