Lost And Found Passports

With the onset of Summer, we tend to get more stories of lost and found passports. Here are a couple of recent ones~

My brother looked everywhere for his passport - he was unable to get an appointment at the passport office for a renewal and we were due to travel within the week. After searching for 24 hours we said a prayer to Saint Anthony and located the passport within 5 minutes of the prayer, a little miracle. Thank you so much St. Anthony. ~A.T.

Thank you Saint Anthony! While trying to renew my husband's and my passport, our old passports were also required by the office. But I just didn't know where I had kept them. I read on the Internet that St Anthony helps find lost things and so I prayed to him. Miraculously the old passports were found within 2 days from an old bag. Thank you once again St. Anthony. ~M.M.

As If It Was Put There

I'm so grateful, I'm so grateful!!! My husband's wedding ring had been missing for 3 months - I recited prayers, praying first to Jesus, and to the Father. I recited prayers and went through our home. I know I checked every place, including the pockets of every coat or jacket before. First my missing pendant appeared; I was shocked and tears rolled. I wasn't done yet. "St. Anthony", I said, "this is the big one, can you help me please? We made a covenant with God on our wedding date. Please help me." I recited the prayer. I went back to the closet, and found my husband's ring in the third jacket in. As if it was put there. I broke down in gratitude, said my Prayers of Thanksgiving and The Creed. Thank you for blessing us Saint Anthony. Thank you Jesus, I remain your humble servant!

Thank you C.R. for your beautiful story of St. Anthony's help. Have a story of your own to share with our readers? Email it to us and we will post it on our blog to inspire others to pray for Saint Anthony's intersession.

How Incredibly Blessed

I was at our cabin in the mountains when I suddenly felt something startling - my antique diamond had fallen out of it's setting. I had no idea when or where. I searched all over the cabin and assumed it went down the drain when I washed my hands. I searched through garbage cans, in and under the bed, every step I remembered taking. I went outside and checked around the cabin, in the car, panic setting in. I was so stunned that I couldn't even breathe. I stopped in my tracks and said a prayer to Saint Anthony and to God, thinking if it was possible, my diamond would be found. Suddenly, two receipts fell out of my left pocket. I remembered walking outside and those same two receipts had fallen out onto the ground in a particular spot. I went outside one more time and there was my diamond in the dirt, exactly where those two receipts had fallen out. I couldn't believe how happy it made me and how incredibly blessed I was in that moment. God is good.

Thank you so much J.S. for your beautiful story, on this the Feast of Saint Anthony. This year is falls on his special day - Tuesday. May all of our readers be especially blessed and interceded for by our beloved Saint Anthony of Padua - Good St. Anthony, pray for us~~
