I have prayed to St. Anthony many times after I've exhausted all mundane ways of finding something and every time I have found what I was looking for, usually in plain site or so it seems.
I remember when I was going for my confirmation my mother really wanted me to choose St. Anthony for my Patron Saint, but I being quite patriotic chose St. Andrew instead.
As far as I know I cannot change this, and does it really matter as I can still pray to St. Anthony when I need his help which comes from God.
St. Anthony, some time ago I prayed to you to help me find my lost birth certificate. Thank you for your help. You are my patron saint. I love you. Also, my aunty Ann has just passed away, she is the one who told me about you, please welcome her when she comes.
St. Anthony of Padua..you helped me finding lots of lost things in my life, and now I badly need your help to find my lost photo of an old personal ID . this was produced in 1970 and was not used since 1980 till now! . presently ,am in great need of this ID and it wont be formal without its stamped photo... pray for me. thank you.
