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.

For my family, friends & special intentions. Prayers for continued healing, recovery & good health for my brother, sisters & myself. Deliverance from this toxic work environment & its people to one that is a good fit for the talents I have been blessed with. Prayers for the right new job. To obtain the resources I need to bring everything together & keep it together. To obtain the resources I need to buy my family home outright & offer my siblings their share. To live a good long, happy, healthy, prosperous & safe Catholic life there. To live well, but within my/our means & by the Lord's will to perhaps share a true love with a good woman at this later time in my life. Thank You for everything Lord. Amen Dear Father, I pray for deliverance from this toxic working environment to a better one. One that's close to home, better paying. with a good atmosphere & culture, where I will be working with good people, to have my work appreciated & rewarded. I ask this in Jesus' name along with the kind intercession of St. Jude. Thank You for everything Lord. Amen

Hearken, my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable, I will utter mysteries from of old.

With their patience worn out by the journey, the people complained against God and Moses, "Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in this desert, where there is no food or water? We are disgusted with this wretched food!"
