Involving the return of Christmas gifts belonging to a family who are very dear to me.

I know this is so incredibly minor compared to most of the prayer requests here … but if you feel moved, would you please take a moment to say just one quick prayer for this family’s Christmas gifts to be restored to them, against all odds?

This family has had a rough couple of years, several major tragedies, and now to have their Christmas gifts disappear just breaks my heart. 😦

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
I pray for this family. May God bless them more abundantly with the gift of His presence.

I’m so sorry that this family lost their Christmas gifts. I can kind of relate my family and I are in a similar situation.

May I ask were they stolen or did they lose them in a fire or something?

Could they get insurance for their Christmas gifts?

Prayer to find what is lost

St. Anthony, when you prayed, your stolen book of prayers was given back to you. Pray now for all of us who have lost things precious and dear. Pray for all who have lost faith, hope or the friendship of God. Pray for us who have lost friends or relatives by death. Pray for all who have lost peace of mind or spirit. Pray that we may be given new hope, new faith, new love. Pray that lost things, needful and helpful to us, may be returned to our keeping. Or, if we must continue in our loss, pray that we may be given Christ’s comfort and peace. Amen.

Seeking a Lost Article

Dear St. Anthony, you are the patron of the poor and the helper of all who seek lost articles. Help me to find the object I have lost so that I will be able to make better use of the time that I will gain for God's greater honor and glory. Grant your gracious aid to all people who seek what they have lost---especially those who seek to regain God's grace. Amen.

You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. (3 times)

Let us pray.
All loving God,
You have given us St. Anthony,

As an intercessor of those
Who are in need of your mercy.
Listen to his voice
As he calls out to You
On our behalf,
And grant those things
Which will help us grow
In Your love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
 
Thank you to all who prayed and posted. An update:

Their Christmas gifts, which had completely disappeared from the postal service’s tracking system for three weeks, finally showed up out of the blue.

I know it doesn’t sound like much, but if you knew the tragedies this family has endured in the last couple of years (things so horrible that most of us, thanks be to God, will never face) … this brought them some joy in an otherwise dark and scary time. Please God, their sufferings may be lifted later this year, but in the meantime, they were able to experience some love and joy at Christmas … although a bit late 🙂

Thank you, dear Lord, for answering our prayers. Please bless each of those who prayed for this family, and hear the intentions of their hearts.

Praised be to Jesus that their Christmas gifts arrived.

I’m sorry to hear that this family has endurded a lot of tragedies in their lives. We may never know what this or anyone for that matter is going through or suffering but Jesus does. Continued Prayers for this family whether I am able to post or not.

Prayer of Thanksgiving

St. Anthony, God has helped me abundantly through your prayer and has strengthened me in my need. I thank God and I thank you. Accept this prayer and my serious resolve which I now renew, to live always in the love of Jesus and of my neighbor. Continue to shield me by your protection and pray to God for the final grace of one day entering the kingdom of heaven to sing with you the everlasting mercies of God. Amen.

Thank you Lord for hearing these prayers, and please continue to bless this family that they may grow to know your great mercy.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

You’re welcome but all glory and honor must go to God!

St. Anthony of Padua, is also one of my favorite Saints too. I’m sorry I forgot to mention the link for the Prayer:
