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.

We serve the Catholic Church as brothers and priests in a communal life of poverty, prayer, and service to others.

I'm worried about the consequences of my parents joining their savings account with mine. My mom blames the bank, but I fear I might owe them more money than I actually do, despite knowing I'll owe something. I also worry about my Mom's mental health, lately. And my dad's physical health and I worry about my future. I also hope to leave town on Saturday (but early enough in the day) or Sunday.

Good morning. I ask for prayers. I must be going through a moment of "spiritual dryness." On other occasions of “discouragement” I asked for prayers and “observed” that the prayers helped me. Thank you so much for praying for me in a weak spiritual time. I ask for prayers for my wife (her possible corneal transplant surgery), our marriage, and our baby (9 months). Because of our economic needs (a house, a job for my wife that makes it compatible with taking care of the baby. To be able to pay for her daycare... For my family and that of my wife (parents, brothers and nephews), for their conversion. For my work bosses and their conversion. For my work ...Thank you very much for your prayers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God bless you abundantly and may the Holy Spirit strengthen your hearts.

I was having good faith and was leading a spiritual life but since few years I am having multiple phobias which I managed by prayers earlier. Now I am too worried and anxious, have bad habits like smoking which I am unable to stop. I lost my wife 10 years back and was living with my only son, now that he is going abroad for higher studies and I am feeling too lonely. My business ventures are also failures. Kindly pray for me and my son, to have good faith and live a spiritual life.

Please pray for my mother Ismini to be restored to health and have at least a couple of good years left. Her life has been full of hardship, injustice, loneliness and pain. We thought at least in her old age she could finally have some peace and a bit of happiness after all she has endured on her life, even accepting without complaint the mobility issues that appeared suddenly a few years ago that have an unknown/mysterious cause, but then they just found cancer, with no history in her family and no risk factors, as she never smoked nor drank nor anything of the kind. ...I cannot feel or see God's presence in this at all, and don't think I ever will. ...While I don't deserve this miracle, she most definitely does, and I am hanging my last hope and faith on this. Thank you.
