St. Anthony
Saint Anthony of Padua
Feast Day: June 13, 1231 A.D. I learned that St. Anthony helps people find their lost or stolen items through praying for his guidance or by saying a short verse “Saint Anthony, Saint Anthony please come around. Something is lost and cannot be found.” I have prayed numerous times to Saint Anthony, and he has never let me down. I’ve chosen Saint Anthony to be my lifelong mentor because something tells me that he will always guide me into the right directions in my future. I tend to lose many things anyways, so why not have a great saint to always help me out?
In 1227 A. D., St. Anthony was elected Minister Provincial of the friars living in northern Italy. Thus he resumed the work of preaching. Due to his taxing labors and his austere penance, he soon felt his strength weakening that he prepared himself for death. After receiving the last sacraments, he kept looking upward with a smile. When he was asked what he saw there, he answered: "I see my Lord." He breathed forth his soul on June 13, 1231 A. D., being only thirty six year old. Soon the children in the streets of the city of Padua were crying: "The saint is dead, Anthony is dead." Pope Gregory IX enrolled him among the saints in the very next year. At Padua, a magnificent basilica was built in his honor; his holy relics were entombed there in 1263 A. D. From the time of his death up to the present day, countless miracles have occurred through St. Anthony's intercession, so that he is known as the Wonder-Worker. In 1946 A. D. St. Anthony was declared a Doctor of the Church.
St. Anthony of Padua is one of the Catholic Church’s most popular saints. Saint Anthony of Padua was a powerful Franciscan preacher and teacher. He’s typically portrayed holding the child Jesus, a lily, a book, or all three. Nowadays, Saint Anthony is best known as the patron saint of lost items, and while finding a lost item may not quite count as working wonders, many of those who have been the beneficiaries
