It's late in the day, but not too late to acknowledge and make a public thank you to one of my personal favorite saints on his feast day - St. Anthony. I ask him for help every day, even today, on his feast day, I lost at least four things that I needed his help to find. He always helps! If I ever get to see him in heaven, I will definitely need to give him a big hug for all the jams he has gotten me out of. For now, I will say "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" and share this prayer to St. Anthony:
Saint Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God
the special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find
(mention your petition) which has been lost. As least restore to me
peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even
more than my material loss.
To this favor I ask another
of you: that I may always remain in possession of the true good that is
God. Let me rather lose all things than lose God, my supreme good. Let
me never suffer the loss of my greatest treasure, eternal life with God.
Amen.
