St. Anthony helps Fr. J.J.
Fr. John received this St. Anthony story from
fellow Franciscan friar J.J. Gonchar

Dear John,
Peace!
The ‘Finding of the Lost’ was similar to what happened to me some months ago.
I had lost my house key. I searched everywhere for it but no luck. I searched my bedroom thoroughly more than once, for I might have dropped it there. I told myself that I would not worry about it, that St. Anthony would find it for me. My trust, however, was not that rock solid.
One day I began to look around again just in case. Lo and behold, there it was on the floor at the end of my bed, right out in the open. I could have sworn that I looked there more than once. To me, that was a miracle.
I'm not sure if it is naturally possible to look and not see what is really there. Be that as it may, I was and still am most grateful to St. Anthony. He has come through for me more than once.
May God be continually praised in and through him.
--J.J.
