To thee we have recourse, most powerful worker of miracles, in whose breast burned a sublime fire of charity towards God and the poor. To thee, who wast deemed worthy to hold in thy arms the Infant Jesus, who chose to be born poor, to thee, full of confidence, we betake ourselves, that thou mayest pray the good Jesus to have compassion on us in our great tribulations. Oh! obtain for us the favour which we humbly implore (here state the favour needed). If thou dost obtain it for us, O glorious St Anthony, we will offer thee bread for the poor whom thou didst love so greatly on earth. Pater, Ave, Gloria.
