(Repeat this prayer each day for nine consecutive days.)
O HOLY St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity for His creatures made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore of you to obtain for me (mention your request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so, you are the Saint of Miracles. O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to linger in your arms; One word from you and my prayer will be granted. O speak that word and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen. Our Father, ... Hail Mary, ... Glory be ...

here is more about "saints" AKA pagan gods brought to Catholic Church when Rome shoved a cross in its pagan system and said "ta-da!" were CHristians now!
The average Catholic cannot see it, even though in their own writings they admit not only the pagan origins of their images, but also the futility of prayers to those images.
“In every temple, at every crossroad, paganism was displaying the image of some goddess. The Christian liturgy knew nothing of the cult of saints” (Catholic Encyclopedia VII, 667).
