Novena to St. Anthony of Padua for Lost Items

By SIS. AGNES PERPETUAL

St. Anthony of Padua, a revered saint in the Catholic Church, is known for his powerful intercession, particularly in matters of lost items. Born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1195, he joined the Franciscan Order and quickly became renowned for his preaching abilities and profound knowledge of Scripture. His devotion to the Gospel and his ability to inspire others led to his canonization just a year after his death in 1231.
The association of St. Anthony with lost items is a tradition that has been passed down through generations. It is believed that his intercession can help locate lost objects, both tangible and intangible. This belief is rooted in several stories and legends surrounding the saint. One popular tale tells of a novice who lost a precious book. After praying to St. Anthony, the novice miraculously found the book in an unexpected place.
Prayer is a powerful tool that can connect us to the divine. When offered with faith and sincerity, it can move mountains. A novena is a nine-day period of prayer, often focused on a specific intention. By dedicating nine days to prayer, we intensify our petition and open ourselves to the grace of God.
