O God, you speak the Word of life through the eloquence of the faithful servants whom you call to proclaim the Good News of salvation. By the example and intercession of Saint Anthony, raise up courageous and convincing preachers in our day to stir faith to life, to heal the brokenhearted, and to offer new life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
