Thank you, Lord for the great gift of my own parents. I pray for them, through the intercession of Saint Anthony of Padua, so that they may always be up to their mission and may always be assisted by divine help so as to provide for my spiritual and corporeal well-being. Anthony, help and protect my parents, bring down on them the most amazing graces through the Baby Jesus, whom you lovingly kept in your arms; help them to lead a holy life, and after their earthly labours may they enjoy the glory in union with the Most Holy Trinity.
Amen.
