I Didn’t Give Up Hope

A St. Benedict medal on my rosary had fallen off. I immediately started praying to St. Anthony and re-traced my steps over the past few days.  I didn't have any luck but I didn't give up hope. When my kids got home I offered them some money to pray and look for the medal.  My youngest asked what it looked like and I described it. He runs to his room and comes back with the medal.  Apparently it came off when I was in his room a few days ago. I teared up when he handed it to me and gave him a huge hug.

Thank you M.B. for your story of Saint Anthony’s assistance in finding your medal. Have a St. Anthony story of your that you would like to share? Email it to us and we will post it on the blog~

Lost Money Found - Repost

Here is a repost of one of our earliest stories from when we started this blog:

Couldn't believe it - lost money found! A few years ago, my mom and I were headed out to the store. As we walked to the car, she told me that she was upset because she had lost a small wallet that had at least $200 in it. Without thinking, as I got into the car, I prayed to St. Anthony to help her find it. We got to the store, went in, and when we came back and were getting into the car, I looked down, and there, on the ledge of the car floor on the passenger's side, was her wallet! She had searched high and low without finding it. If it had been there before, I would have stepped over it without seeing it not once but twice while entering and exiting the car. And yet, I said the prayer to St. Anthony and there it was! Whether it miraculously appeared or he simply opened our eyes, I was extremely grateful to him for his help.
