Anthony of Padua, known to us as St Anthony, is one of the church’s most beloved patron saints, and with good reason. Anthony of Padua was kind and forgiving, he was a doctor, and his compassion knew no bounds. That is also why is he referred to as the patron of the poor and the sick, though he is most known for being the patron saint of stolen or lost things.
Our beloved St Anthony is a man of the people who had a strong bond with Christ. He continues his work even after his death. Turn to St Anthony in times of worry, illness, or when you can’t find what you are looking for (whether that’s literally, spiritually, or emotionally).
Below are some powerful prayers to Saint Anthony for a miracle.
Let us pray.
