St Anthony found my late mother's cross
There is no way to explain this except that
St Anthony gave it back to me...
~
My mother passed away 35 years ago. When I went back home for her funeral, on the floor next to her bed I found her cross. She had never taken it off.
I picked it up and saw that the chain was broken. I pinned it to my underwear for safe keeping. When I returned to my home I had the chain repaired. Now, I never take it off.
Recently, my husband and I traveled to a business convention on the West coast. I have photos of me wearing the necklace at this convention. On the plane on my way home I noticed the chain was broken and the cross was gone. I was so very upset, I felt like I lost my mother again 10 years later.
Back home I unpacked everything checking to see if it had fallen into anything. I called the place we had stayed, the airlines, etc., etc. I even contacted the people who had been with us. I cried and prayed and cried and prayed to St. Anthony.
About a week later we went to our storage unit to get some dishes. We figured that we had not been there for about 3 months. I was still crying and praying to St. Anthony.
As my husband opened the door we saw something very shiny across the room. My husband moved a couch to get what it was and there, lo and behold, was my Mother’s cross! There is no way to explain this except that St Anthony gave it back to me...
My whole family has always believed in St. Anthony and I even try to give him gifts of prayer etc…
Thank you,
--A.S.
