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.

I feel profoundly lost. I seek direction and light. I need inspiration for how to support myself going forward without resorting to the same strategies and work as in the past. I pray for forgiveness from the people who I have wronged, and the ability to forgive others, because my heart can't carry all this weight anymore. Free me from these burdens and remove my feelings of helplessness and inadequacy that prevent my growth. Thank you God. Please hear and answer my humble prayers.

I am the mother of a 21-year-old girl. About 12 years ago I asked her dad for a divorce most every holiday my daughter spends most of the time with him and his family because I don’t have any family in the area. And I felt some guilt from having left. Her father and I have a good relationship. We help each other out and he’s been a very good father. However, she was told that I was the one that left. She was told this, probably by her aunt who never liked me. And she says that that’s why she can go and spend all this holiday time with her dad. That hurts a lot. And she does not know the whole story. And I feel like she needs to know the whole story. So my prayer is that there be the right time and the right place to tell her my side of the story. Thanks for praying.

Dear St Anthony, Please help me. I have hit absolute rock bottom, and I just don't know what to do. Everything I try just seems to end in failure. I am down to my last three pounds in the bank and very soon I am going to have to pay bills and rent. I just can't take any sort of joy in life at the moment. I just feel totally lost. Please, please help me out of this hole that I have ended up in. I know that it is my own fault that I am where I am. Past laziness, bad judgements, burying my head in the sand when I should have taken action. In spite of this, please help me out of this rut, please help me to find gainful employment, please help to once again take some joy in life. Please St Anthony, hear my prayer. Daniel
