This crazy.
My beloved aunties, when we, their nephews, raised by them, lost something, said: “Say a Holy Father to St. Anthony”, our Portuguese Saint.
Later on, I began so suspect the prayer. “A Holy Father to St. Anthony?”, but we say the Holy Father to God the Father, not to a Saint. But as we were worried about the lost thing, we prayed, forgetting the theological logic.
and it always appeared. In my long life, I remember that only once, the Saint did not attend my prayers.

And I still do. Always with the same result. It seems that He never sleeps.
He was one of the best Theologians of his time so good, that (unofortunately), St. Francis of Assis called him from Lisbon to Padua, where he died. There They call him St. Anthony of Padua, but really he is St.António de Lisboa, for he is Lisbon’s Patron. His feast is Lisbon is worth participating.
He was a “santo subito”, a fast track saint, proclaimed so in 1 1/2 years.

Sorry, My Saint, I only pray to You on these occasions, but You know, there so many Saints in Heaven that my head cannot keep count on all of them. For the first time in my, here, I thank you for all you have done to me, and remember all the people at CAF. I love You.
 
I mention his name and whatever I have lost appears…that is why I love him so…without him I would have to get out of my chair to turn the channel 😛
 
i also received many favours through the intercession of St .ANTONY i attend every tuesday the novena and holy mass I beieve he is a saint who never fails to answer a devottee’s prayer
 
During any given work week, St. Anthony helps me find my keys, my reading glasses, and my cell phone when I’m trying to get out the door to get to work on time, at least a few times a week! Praying to him also helped me find a stock certificate I thought was lost or stolen, and I’m currently praying to him to bring my son and his girlfriend back to the faith, since they seem to be lost to the faith.
 
I have to admit that I have found many lost things through the intercession of St. Anthony. Some of them are pretty amazing! I dropped my credit card in front of a store one day recently. After two days of searching anywhere I figure I could have dropped it in areas under my control, I prayed for St. Anthony’s intervention. In desperation, I went back to the store and asked if I had left it there when I left the store two days earlier. They reached under the cash register and pulled it out. A customer had found it and turned it in! How often does that happen in the world today?
 
As the cashier was scanning my items yesterday, I noticed that my wallet was not in my purse. I checked lost and found and went to my car to see if it was there, but it was not. Since it was a busy Sunday after church at TJ Maxx, I thought someone had surely walked away with it. While in the car I prayed to our Lord, Jesus Christ and recited a prayer to Saint Anthony. I re-tracked my steps, aisle by aisle, and to my surprise my wallet was under a clothes rack on the floor. Thanks be to God and to St. Anthony for interceding for me!!!

“Thank you God for always listening to my prayers and answering them according your will; thank you St. Anthony for interceding on my behalf. I will encourage devotion to you always. AMEN”
