Anyone here helped by St. Anthony of Padua in some way? He has really helped me in finding lost items (and being a rather untidy person I lose stuff quite a lot) quite a number of times now - last being yesterday. I know I’m not really a pious or a holy person, but I really appreciate all the help he has provided. So, I guess this is my small way of saying thanks to God and to good ol’ St. Anthony. 😊
 
I have a friend who always prays to St Anthony when he loses anything, St Anthony never lets him down, for he always finds what he loses.
 
I don’t mean this to seem irreverent, but St. Anthony is such a helper in my life that sometimes I just call him Tony. I mean, seriously. The guy helps me find something that I’ve lost at least twice a week, usually in the form of a random shoe that a toddler put in a kitchen cabinet, or a missing Mr. Bear that mysteriously found its way into the laundry chute, or the cell phone that somehow was hidden in the foot of a winter boot… We’re close, he and I. 😃

As a side note, I often think of a homily I once heard about St. Anthony. A woman was looking for a parking space, and she was circling and circling the parking lot in search of one. She kept asking Saint Anthony for his intercession, to help her find a parking space. And poof! She found a parking space! And she said to Saint Anthony, “Nevermind, I found one!” 😛 Always remember to actually thank St. Anthony for his help rather than assume you found it on your own!!
 
I had dropped a rosary that meant a lot to me. I went back to the Church to check lost and found. it wasn’t there but the church employee said she would pray to St. Anthony for me.
I was skeptical Stopped by my work and there hanging up on the bulletin board was my missing rosary! I have prayed to him since then to find misplaced items.

Dumb question: Anyone have a copy of the Prayer ot St. Anthony?
 
If I could suggest my book which has been very well received by many readers of this forum:

“Powerful Miracles of St. Anthony” contains over eight dozen stories of miraculous intercession by with him with God. You will read stories of how he raised a person from the dead in order to… Preaching to the fish in a lake… Find out how he became known as the Saint for finding lost objects. This book is perfect for the devotee of Saint Anthony or for the person just starting to learn about him. Need a miracle in your life? Ask Saint Anthony!
