Providential faith in St. Anthony
... there was my bank card, shiny as a star!
~
After my beloved husband died, I went through a period filled with chaotic and painful moments. Not having my finances in order added to the intense grief. I found myself misplacing so many things, but never faltering in my trust to St. Anthony's intercession.
For a year I looked for my bank card to no avail. Giving up and cancelling it was no option. I would be giving up in my faith in Almighty God through St. Anthony.
A close friend who lives alone was having a birthday and I wanted to treat her to a Chinese dinner. She had generously treated me often. I was low on cash.
On my dresser I kept a box with cosmetics which I went through daily as I dressed.
The day before my girlfriend's birthday, I opened the box, and was stunned… there was my bank card, shiny as a star!
There was no way I could have placed it there. St. Anthony performed a mystical miracle only our Lord in His mercy could've permitted.
The time must have been Providential, for I am more cautious with my spending than ever, and I continue believing in St. Anthony. I also include him in my prayers to our Lord with such gratitude and trust.
Skeptics may question such things we as Catholics believe in; however, have they seen a divinity, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, God? Yet, they believe in blind faith, don't they?
Thank you, St. Anthony, saint of finding and/or restoring lost things....relationships, jobs, valuable belongings, who carries the Christ Child as a symbol of His love and protection.
