Prayer to St. Anthony the Abbott

St. Anthony of Egypt, because of your close friendship with God, the early Church invoked your intercession with great benefit for the salvation of souls and against the onslaught of all kinds of diseases and sicknesses.

May we who strive to follow the same Lord and Master, have your special intercession and help against the onslaught of the evil one and against all temptation of the flesh, sicknesses, epidemics and pandemics and every kind of division and heresies, both within and against the church of God and be able to lead a life of close union with Jesus our Lord. Amen.
