(Novenas are prayed once a day for nine days)

St. Anthony,
perfect imitator of Jesus,
who received from God
the special power of restoring lost things,
grant that I may find…

(Item you have lost)

which has been lost.
At least restore to me peace
and tranquillity of mind,
the loss of which has afflicted me
even more than my material loss.
To this favour I ask another of you:
that I may always remain in possession
of the true good that is God.
Let me rather lose all things
than lose God,
my supreme good.
Let me never suffer the loss
of my greatest treasure,
eternal life with God.

Amen.
