St. Anthony Prayer for the Elderly
O loving St. Anthony, patron saint of the elderly, I ask your
special prayers for Cynthia’s mom and dad and all other
elderly people.
Pray, beloved saint, that they are grateful for the years
they have lived, content with their place in life, have hearts
and minds that are full of happy memories and thankful
thoughts, that they are blessed with good health, and
that they are examples of Christian living for all they
love and meet.
Please pray that if they are tested with illness, suffering,
loneliness, or the death of loved ones that they be blessed
with God’s peace and comfort, strength and courage.
And when their time comes to enter into eternal life,
I pray you welcome them into Heaven where, along with
you, they might praise God forever and ever. Amen.

A Prayer for Family Caregivers
Come to me, all You who labor and are burdened, and I
will give You rest. Take my yoke upon You and learn from
me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and You will find
rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden
light. (Matthew 11:28-30)
Healer of souls and comforter of the weary, help to lighten
the burden of families who are caring for their sick loved
ones.
Accompany them on their journey and ease their anxiety
and fears. Surround them with the love and strength of
others, so they may experience the healing presence
of the communion of saints.
We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady of
Lourdes and in the name of Your Son. Amen.
