He is one of the great saints of the Catholic Church, and one of the beloved--even far beyond Catholics themselves. Untold numbers of people turn to him, still, when there is loss.

Prayer to the Infant Jesus in the Arms of St. Anthony
Sweet Infant Jesus, You best and only hope of afflicted souls, I prostrate myself at Your feet and ask You, through Your immeasurable love and grace, by which You did visit Your blessed servant St. Anthony, and comfort and embrace him, to come to me at his intercession and let me taste how sweet Your presence is to the souls that trust in You. Amen.
