and live. Pour out upon us Your mercy and hear the prayers of Your servants. Through the inter-

cession of St. Anthony of Padua, who through his bold and powerful preaching, inspired so many

“careless Catholics” to return to the Church, soften the hearts of those we pray for who have

strayed from the faith into which they were baptized. They are now forgetful of their duties as

Catholics and pursue other ways. Grant that they may quickly return to the practice of the faith

they once professed, so that their lives may again shine with the integrity of belief, the fervor of

piety, and the ardor of charity. Restore them to Your sacraments and to the life of Your grace. We

pray this in the name of Your Son Jesus and in union with St. Anthony and all the saints. Amen
