Miracles

Are Real and Saint Anthony Delivers --Happy Feast Day--

     One of those rare "miracle-workers" Saints, Anthony, a Doctor of the church, great Theologian who once put his fellow franciscan friars to work to pay off the debt of a woman whose husband was in debtors prison to avoid her having to sell herself into prostitution to feed her children. He also is patron saint of lobbyists because he lobbied the biggest loan shark in town to not extortionately lend at userous interest rates and lobbied for the outlawing of debtors prisons altogether in the small italian town where he operated. He is one of the greatest spirits of the Christian age. He is famous for finding things- which belief emanates from the fact that a cross Saint Francis gave him that he hung around his neck that was lost at sea when he was shipwrecked mysteriously was handed back to him one sunny day by a kid who found it on the beach (so the movie goes:-) People pray to him to locate keys, but he also finds lost careers, lost loves, and lost hope and finds what you need found- a spouse, a house or anything missing.

  If you have not yet stopped in to see the Saint Anthony Chapel surrounded by beautiful mosaics of the town of Assist and Saint Francis in Saint Matthews Cathedral in Washington, DC you should. Especially if you need a miracle.
