St. Anthony of Padua

St. Anthony of Padua is one of the Catholic Church’s most popular saints. Saint Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost and stolen articles, was a powerful Franciscan preacher and teacher. He’s typically portrayed holding the child Jesus—or a lily—or a book—or all three—in his arms.

The Shrine

“Mt. Airy” is the familiar name for the National Shrine of St. Anthony and Friary sitting on a hill above Cincinnati. The shrine had its start in the late 1880s, when Joseph and Elizabeth Nurre bought what was then a country estate for $18,000 and gave it to the Franciscan friars.

About the Friars

The 130 friars of St. John the Baptist Province (SJB) are members of the Order of Friars Minor. We are a Franciscan brotherhood inspired by the 13th-century example of St. Francis of Assisi. We serve the Catholic Church as brothers and priests in a communal life of poverty, prayer, and service to others.

You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day, Nor the pestilence that ravages at noon. Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, near you it shall not come. You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see. Because you have the LORD for your refuge and have made the Most High your stronghold, No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent.

He will rescue you from the fowler's snare, from the destroying plague, He will shelter you with his pinions, and under his wings you may take refuge; his faithfulness is a protecting shield.

You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shade of the Almighty, Say to the LORD, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust."

Great is the LORD and highly praised in the city of our God: His holy mountain, fairest of heights, the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, the heights of Zaphon, the city of the great king.

I'm asking for prayers, I've been waiting for four weeks for a procedure that has been approved, but the specialty pharmacy keeps saying is denied. Insurance says it's approved, and has called them, and issued multiple letters. My knee is in pain, I can't take nsaids or Motrin, it's very hard to walk, and have a lot of pain. Please help this to be resolved, so the Dr can give me the injection. Amen

Please pray for me and for my daughter. She is 22 years old, fresh out of college, and very busy. I feel that we don't see each other much, even though she is local. I feel like she sees her father's family and her father a lot more. I feel hurt and jealous. Please help and pray for us. In Jesus name. Thank you.
