This “Prayer to Saint Anthony for Lost Items” is a heartfelt plea for his intercession in finding what has been lost, both materially and spiritually. In this prayer, we ask for the restoration of lost items and, more importantly, for the return of peace and tranquility of mind, which are considered even more valuable than material possessions. The prayer also seeks St. Anthony’s help in always remaining in possession of the true good, which is God, and expresses the desire to never lose the greatest treasure of eternal life with Him. We acknowledge that losing God would be a far greater loss than losing all material things. The prayer concludes by invoking St. Anthony as a helper in all necessities.

St. Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find what has been lost.
[Mention your petition]
At least restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even more than my material loss. To this favor, 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.
St. Anthony, helper in all necessities, pray for us.
