DonateSt. 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.
“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.
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.
Dearest St. Anthony, please intercede on behalf of J, that she might heal from the wounds inflicted on her, that she might forgive, and that her family might be restored. Please ease the anxiety on M, L, J, C, J, T, S, J, A, and K. The situation is getting dire. Please help.

Hello Sisters, I got a cut on the side of my mouth. Please pray for me to heal quickly. I visit my aging family members & I feel terrible not being able to help them. Thank you for your time.
My dad drove through the red light, and I pray that he does not lose his license, as I don’t want to move to a town in the middle of nowhere for the rest of my life. And I would be trapped at home almost all the time, even when the weather is nice. I would be lucky if I go to church at all, if this happened, as I know it would be seldom, when I am able to get anywhere. I live in Canada. Being inside in the winter, I understand but spring, summer, and fall. I also worry about my mum’s mental health, and she gets paranoid, easily, and gets angry easily, and other things (too many to explain). She might be right, as I heard the driving laws are getting stricter in Canada. My mum is known to threaten things or say things will happen if something bad happens. Also, I hope to get the money, I am owed. Also, I hope that the silver medical scooter keeps on working, and the internet keeps on working for the next while, as we will be out of town for a while. I hope that my birthday will not be a disaster.
My Lord, I hate this job. not only are the persons I work with unhelpful & nasty, the management is dismissive & the pay is lousy. I pay deliverance to something that's better all around. That's a good fit for the talents You have blessed me with. Thank You for everything. Amen
Thank You for everything Lord. Amen
For the prayers & intentions of everyone posting here. Amen
Deliverance to a better paying job, with a short commute, having good people & a better culture than the one I have presently. Amen
