Some more than 10 years ago my son, who at the time ran a stall, left more than $3,000.00, which he was to use for his stock, under his car seat, as he didn't want to carry it with him. When the person came to claim the payment, my son very confidently went to retrieve the money, but to his astonishment the money was nowhere to be found. Very frantic and hurt, he called me to relate the incident. I told him to check the car very carefully and not to leave any place unturned. I also told him to pray, and go about doing his work, and look for it again later. In the meantime, I too prayed. I have a little booklet with St. Anthony's prayers, and I decided on the prayer for desperate cases and also for the 'lost and found'. I prayed very fervently, with hope and confidence. I knew how much the money meant to my son, I dreaded what would happen if the money was not found. I finished my prayers, and my mobile phone rang. It was from my son. He was crying. He found the money! He could not explain how the money got to where he found it. I couldn't believe a miracle could happen so fast. But I believed St. Anthony could make things happen. Thank you St. Anthony.

He is one of the great saints of the Catholic Church, and one of the beloved--even far beyond Catholics themselves. Untold numbers of people turn to him, still, when there is loss. And strangely--at least strangely in the usual ways of the world--those things often quickly turn up. And often they turn up in the most unexpected--even seemingly miraculous ways. Let the stories begin.
