Who is St. Anthony of Padua
Known as the “Hammer of Heretics,” St. Anthony of Padua was a 13th century Portuguese Franciscan friar, wonderworker, and mystic. He is a highly popular saint and Doctor of the Church who enjoys a Feast Day on June 13th. The main story of St. Anthony is the Gospel’s call to leave everything and follow Christ — the primary rule of St. Anthony’s life. Over and over again God called him to something new, and every time God called Anthony responded with a renewed zeal, haste, and self-sacrificing obedience to serve the Lord Jesus more completely.
The thirteen miracles of Saint Anthony, miracles that defined natural law, worth further study are: the Sermon to the fishes, Aleardino’s Glass, the Heretic’s mule, the re-attached foot, the drowned child, a dead man speaks, Saint Anthony’s miracles, the Miser’s heart, a violent husband, the speaking infant, the liberation of Padua, Tommy and St. Anthony’s bread, Eurilia comes back to life.
St. Anthony is the patron saint of children, lost causes, and stolen/lost articles, pregnant women, and the elderly. The next time you lose something, don’t forget to ask for the intercession of this most powerful saint!
“The devil is afraid of us when we pray and make sacrifices. He is also afraid when we are humble and good. He is especially afraid when we love Jesus very much. He runs away when we make the Sign of the Cross” – St. Anthony of Padua.
Patron Saint of the Poor, Lost Things, Oppressed People, Lost souls, Lost People, Miracles, Custody of the Holy Land, Pregnancy, The Sick, The Hungry, Animals, Travelers, Finding One’s Spouse

Pray for me for healing, deliverance,break through, peace and restoration
St. Anthony,
I lost my job during the pandemic and couldn’t find gainful work for some time. Unfortunately, I had to use my retirement and am wallowing in debt. I’m applying for bankruptcy and feel hopeless. Please help me to recover and find my way back to a healthy financial footing.
I have believed in you and know you can help.
Thank you!
St Anthony, I don’t know where to start. That anonymous person below, God bless her, echoed the cry of my heart. Please intercede for us and all who have lost jobs, homes, intercede for all those robbed of justice and cudgelled by oppression before the Throne of the Most High. That the Lord may make a way, heal and restore, defend our cause, do what no man can do and win for Himself fresh glory in our trials. For all things are possible with God.Thank you Jesus.
Please St. Anthony,
You were my mother’s favorite saint. I’m sure she is with you in heaven at this time.
I need help.
I am out of work, desperate, scared, and alone. I’m broke and facing homelessness. I don’t know what to do. I have prayed to God and many other saints and nothing seems to happen.
I’m looking for work that satisfies me, doesn’t fill me with dread or anxiety, helps others, is a service to God, and is a service to others. Please let a new job land in my lap easily and effortlessly or if I need to do something make the signs as big as a billboard. Please help. Please. I beg you. Divine intervention, please.
Chris
Hope he answers you prayers soon
Please pray for Anthony’s recovery and we’ll being🙏
