I received this lovely charm necklace with St. Anthony de Padua in it from my officemate this week. Thank you so much, Ate Au for this thoughtful gift!
Often depicted holding the Christ Jesus, St. Anthony de Padua is one of the most beloved saints in the world, and is the patron saint for lost items.
Let me end this post by sharing with you this beautiful prayer to St. Anthony, which came with the necklace:
Prayer to St. Anthony Loving God, I praise you for the faith that St. Anthony had in the resurrection of Christ and the comfort this brought him in times of trial. Help my faith so that I may find and preserver peace of mind in my present situation. Let me discern good from evil, truth from error, so that I may remain faithful to Christ. Give me confidence in your healing grace in myself and in all my relationships. Amen.
