St. Anthony of Padua Prayer Ministry of St. Laurence Catholic Church, Sugar Land brings together the young and old alike, to honor St. Anthony of Padua and pray for his intercession helping to deepen their devotion to Jesus. This ministry caters to the harmonious gathering of devotees from all Christian denominations and religious affiliations to pray and worship in the Catholic tradition, through the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and Novena on every Tuesday. It encourages the attendees to remember that God, in his love, may have his own way of answering their prayers. This devotion had started at St. Laurence in April 1997 with annual feast celebrated on the Saturday close to the feast day of the Saint (June 13) (2025 Annual Feast will be celebrated at 7:00 pm, Saturday, June 14) and continues to attract many, particularly young adults who may be on the verge of leaving their faith, by helping them to recommit themselves to the Catholic faith.
The service consists of reciting Holy Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 6:30 PM and Holy Mass at 7:00 PM followed by the novena to the Saint. It is offered at the Church on first Tuesdays of the month, and at the Divine Mercy Chapel on other Tuesdays.
We hope you and your family will have a warm and spirit-filled experience with us as we worship and fellowship together at our services, and events. May God bless you abundantly.
Sixth of 13-week devotion: Prayer to St. Anthony of Padua for Inner Peace and Healing (April 22, 2025)
O blessed St. Anthony, gentle and powerful intercessor, you who carried the burdens of many, and brought comfort to troubled hearts, come close to me now in my time of need. My soul is restless, O holy saint, wounded by worries I cannot name, and aches I cannot explain. Bring your calming presence to my spirit and lay before the Lord my silent cries.
You who held the Child Jesus in your arms, embrace me with that same tender care. Ask our Divine Healer to pour His grace upon me, to soothe what is broken, to restore what is weary, to bring peace to the storms within.
Pray for me, St. Anthony, that I may find stillness in God’s will, strength in His promises, and healing in His time. You, who preached love with gentleness and power, intercede for me now before the throne of grace.
Ask our Lord to heal the wounds I carry—those seen and unseen, spoken and silent. Help me to release all anxiety, anger, and fear, and to surrender fully into God’s care. Where fear has crept in, bring faith. Where pain lingers, bring the balm of hope. Where doubt clouds my vision, let the light of Christ shine through.
Guide me gently toward wholeness, that I may walk forward in trust, made new by the love of the Savior you so faithfully proclaimed.
St. Anthony, consoler of the afflicted, pray for me, and for all who seek healing. Amen.
St. Anthony of Padua - Memorare
Remember, O miracle-working Saint, that it was never was heard that you left without help or relief anyone who in need had recourse to you. Animated with the liveliest confidence, even with the full conviction of not being refused, I fly for refuge for you, O most favored and blessed friend of the Infant Jesus! Eloquent preacher of the Divine mercies, despise not thy supplications, but bringing them before the throne of God, strengthen them by your intercession and obtain for me what I ask – help and consolation in my need, O most glorious, miracle-working, mighty St Anthony. Amen.
