I haven't been able to find my camera. My daughter kept reminding me to pray to St. Anthony. I still couldn't find it.
I was just about to post a prayer request here...and my son found my camera. I thought I would offer a thanksgiving prayer and invite anyone who would like to thank St. Anthony for his help over the years:
Prayer of Thanksgiving
St. Anthony, God has helped me abundantly through your prayer and has strengthened me in my need. I thank God and I thank you. Accept this prayer and my serious resolve which I now renew, to live always in the love of Jesus and of my neighbor. Continue to shield me by your protection and pray to God for the final grace of one day entering the kingdom of heaven to sing with you the everlasting mercies of God. Amen.
From the St. Anthony Shrine website.

Thank you for sharing that prayer, Helen. Goodness knows I must owe Saint Anthony a huge debt of gratitude for all the help he's given me over the years!

I remember you were saying it was lost, thank you St Anthony for finding it for you!
We rely on St Anthony for so many things, when his feast comes around, I like to thank him especially for ALL the things he has found in the year and that includes numerous car park spaces at crowded shopping centers!

Whew! Glad you found the camera!
I'm so grateful to St. Anthony...sometimes I think he helps me find my lost sanity.

How strange, Helen... we lost our (new!)camera a month ago, and I was searching off and on for it. We had a birthday coming up, and that spurred me on to finally ask for St. Anthony's help. I was 'directed' to look under the passenger seat of our car.... there it was.
Thanks to St. Anthony for helping all of us. I feel a little sorry for him, we keep him so busy. And, I can't wait to meet him someday
