St. Anthony of Padua

St. Anthony of Padua is one of the Catholic Church’s most popular saints. Saint Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost and stolen articles, was a powerful Franciscan preacher and teacher. He’s typically portrayed holding the child Jesus—or a lily—or a book—or all three—in his arms.

The Shrine

“Mt. Airy” is the familiar name for the National Shrine of St. Anthony and Friary sitting on a hill above Cincinnati. The shrine had its start in the late 1880s, when Joseph and Elizabeth Nurre bought what was then a country estate for $18,000 and gave it to the Franciscan friars.

About the Friars

The 130 friars of St. John the Baptist Province (SJB) are members of the Order of Friars Minor. We are a Franciscan brotherhood inspired by the 13th-century example of St. Francis of Assisi. We serve the Catholic Church as brothers and priests in a communal life of poverty, prayer, and service to others.

Please pray for my cardiologist appointment next month, that it goes alright, and that I don't have trouble with my doctor. Please pray for my health to improve, and for my heart, diabetes, hernia, eyesight, kidneys, and other health problems. Please pray that I am able to find my sister's baby book. Our dear mother kept the baby book safe for over 47 years and I have now for over six years. Please pray that I don't have trouble with my sister, brother-in-law, or niece.

My heart and head hurt so much that I can barely take it. Please ask God to relieve my chronic depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Ask him to surround me with good, competent doctors whom he can guide in helping me. Ask God to hear my pleas for relief and give me the strength, courage, wisdom, and grace to get through this pain and to do whatever I can to help myself. Ask him to give me HOPE for a better future. I beg of you to pray for me and all those suffering.
