Saint Anthony is well known as the Patron Saint to Ask for Intercession when Something is Lost.
There’s a little prayer:
“Calling Saint Anthony, Come on Down; Something’s Lost that Can’t be Found!”
Saint Anthony always comes through, especially when one loses their keys, wallet or cell phone. He can also help people find their way out of difficult situations, and some say he will even help people FIND a way to succeed, regardless of the obstacles in their way.
Many say Saint Anthony was a brilliant speaker. So brilliant, in fact, that when he would preach by the sea, all of the fish would stand up on their tales to hear his Sermons.
It's curious that when we visited Padua, in Italy, we were spellbound by the Basilica of Saint Anthony. Later, in the evening, we went out to a Chinese restaurant. As we sat, we looked below and noticed the glass floors. Fish were swimming below us, obviously listening to our conversation….
