just for fun…which saint or saints do you find are the quickest at answering your prayers?

St Anthony of Padua, every time i loose something i ask for his intercession and i will find it if not minuets or an hour or two later at least a day later 😃
 
St. Anthony – “Tony, Tony, Look around. Help me find what can’t be found.”. When I type it, it sounds superstitous and silly, but I really say it prayerfully and I can almost always find what I’m looking for. Sometimes what I’m looking for seems to “appear” in the most obvious places where I’m sure I’ve already looked!🙂
 
Ditto-St Anthony
Although lets not forget the Blessed Mother 🙂
 
St. Anthony for sure and I agree w/ Maria Theresa … Blessed Mother 👍
 
Usually when we pray to St. Anthony it’s for something we need to find right away and he almost always comes through. I always thank him right away too.
 
St. Anthony’s da man! 👍 When we made a pilgrimage on his feast day (June 13) to ask for the gift of a child (he is not only patron of lost objects, but also of barren women), he answered on the following March 15 (almost 9 months to the day!) with our son (whose middle name is, not surprisingly, Anthony!)
 
My son had a precalculus final last week that he was worried about. I told him about St. Joseph of Cupertino (patron saint of students and exam takers). I gave him a prayer I found… he quietly prayed before his exam (in public school!), earned a 97% and clinched an A in the class!!! He told many other students about St. Joseph, too. Thanks be to God and St. Joseph!
 
Saint Joan of Arc - all of you are calling Saint Anthony so she has time on her hands. 😃
 
I work at a Christian Evangelical school in the admin dept. One day, we had the payroll software consultant in upgrading our program. He needed some disks which were stored in a small cabinet, 3 shelves, about 2 1/5 feet wide. The admin assistant had been searching through this cupboard for 20 minutes trying to find the disks with no result, so I said, “St. Anthony, please help us to find these disks.”

5 seconds later, she had them in her hand so I said, “Thank you, St. Anthony.” The computer guy looked at me with wide eyes, while the the admin asst. just laughed it off as a coincidence.

This building used to be a convent which was dedicated to St. Anthony.

Turns out the computer guy was Catholic but hadn’t been to Mass for a long time. He returned to Mass. Thank you, St. Anthony, you find more than just ‘things’ that are lost.

Although I ask other Saints, none has answered as quickly as St. Anthony. It sure would be hard to be 5 seconds.

I know what you mean. I live in St Anthony of Padua parish in new orleans and that is how i found out about him, and my protestant mother prays to him all the
Also i found out a presbyterian friend of my dad’s his catholic wife remembered that her mother told her to bury a statue of St. Joseph (upside down i think) to sell a house quickly. they had put the house up for sale w/o the statue and it went unsold for like 9 months (maybe longer i am not sure) but she remembered about the statue buried it and within like 2 weeks they had sold it

Ditto. A few weeks ago in my parish office, the Church receptionist was looking around for something. I said “St. Anthony, please help her find. . .” and before I could finish the prayer she said, “Oh here it is!” I said, “See, he works fast.” 😃
