If He Wasn't Already A Saint, I'd Nominate Him

Not only did he help when the baby was sick, a rosary bead that has been missing for close to four years has suddenly appeared.

Thank you, dear friend.

Most loving protector, St. Anthony, what gift can I give you in exchange to show my heartfelt gratitude? With your continued help I will show appreciation to you by being more faithful to God, more constant in prayer, and readier to do good to those nearest me. I praise you for the esteem in which your name is held throughout the world, for the miracles and wonders with which you have filled the Church and the world, and for the many benefits men keep receiving through your gracious help.

May these intentions convey my great thanks to the triune God--Father, Son and Holy Spirit--and to our blessed Lady, Queen of Heaven and Earth.

I wish I had a special kinship with a Saint. You and St. Anthony have really bonded over the years--and he's been there for you, every single time!
