*FOR LOST THINGS* |
|
Great Saint Anthony, who hast received from God a special power to recover lost things, help me that I may find that which I am now seeking. Obtain for me, also, an active faith, perfect docility to the inspirations of grace, disgust for the vain pleasures of the world, and an ardent desire for the imperishable goods of an everlasting happiness. Amen. + or + Tony Tony, come around. Something is lost and cannot be found! |

When I was 6 years old, this little non catholic girl was in the hospital receiving an eye operation. I had never heard of a Saint, had no idea what a Saint was or what a Catholic was. And it would be years before I discovered that Saint Anthony was the saint of lost things! Well, when I found this out, I could only marvel over my new eyesight and thank St Anthony over and over again - to this day! The hospital was St Anthony's in Amarillo Texas. For more see: BEADSONG |
