Finding the person God has chosen for us and preparing our hearts to share our life with someone can be complicated. Praying to the saint of miracles, St. Anthony of Padua, protector of lovers, allows us to confide in him our desire to find love. Whether we aren’t married and looking for a spouse, a fiance preparing for marriage or a couple experiencing conjugal difficulties, let us ask St. Anthony for guidance in finding love.
Jesus is the way. Jesus is the life. If you lose your way, call on Jesus to find it again.” Saint Anthony’s prayer is a powerful prayer that can help you find the love of your life. Over 200 years ago, within the walls of a monastery, this prayer was created. It claimed that anyone who prayed it would be very likely to find a soul mate; one who would lead them to true and everlasting love. In other words, Saint Anthony was certain that if you prayed his particular prayer then your prayers would be answered.

You help those who have recourse to your guidance to find lost things. St. Anthony, I lost the tenderness and love of someone who I hold dear to my heart. Please, guide me back to them, if it is compatible with God’s Holy Will.
I implore you, intercede on my behalf to The Merciful Father, pray that He may grant me the grace of reconciliation with my loved one, the strength to listen, to recognize our faults, and to forgive one another.
May the sincere love, respect and attention that we once shared each other bloom again, in the image of the love that Christ taught us.
But above all, grant me, I pray you, the strength to accomplish God’s Will, peacefully and serenely. If it is not His plan to unite us again, grant me the grace to accept it and maintain my trust in the Lord.

St. Anthony, pray for me.
