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 Varis. He has powerful adversaries who pay people to lie about him. They all but destroyed his life the last time. He became so depressed. He was able to rise above them all and everything got better after all the prayers. But their libels know no end. They really want to destroy his life and are now doing it yet anew. Please pray for him. Please pray that this knot be undone. He is so worried. Please pray that Varis is not left up to the will of his enemies.

Heavenly Father,I come before You with a heavy heart. You know the pain of my past, the loneliness after my divorce, and the struggles I face each day. Lord, I place before You the issue of the blocked access to my land. Grant wisdom and justice to those who are responsible for resolving this matter. Remove every obstacle in the right way and let truth and fairness prevail. I pray for my beloved parents. Bless them with good health, strength, protection, and joy. Surround them with Your love and keep them safe from harm. Fill our family with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Heal every wound in our hearts, calm our anxious thoughts, and strengthen our minds. Replace fear, anger, and discouragement with hope, patience, and faith. Guide every decision I make, open doors that no one can shut, and help me move forward with courage and confidence. May our home be filled with love, unity, and Your presence every day. I trust in Your timing and Your plan for my life. Thank You for never leaving me, even in difficult times. Amen
