My catholic wife fervently believes in St. Anthony as a finder of lost items. After searching everywhere she prays to him whenever she has lost something and darned if she doesn't find it.
Years ago I had lost my car keys and was desperately late for work. She suggested praying to St. Anthony and, as a last resort, I reluctantly said the prayer. I was standing alone in the kitchen and I distinctly heard a loud voice (not male nor female) say "look in the 2nd drawer from the refrigerator." I whirled around expecting to find someone in the room but I was alone. I looked in the drawer and there sat the keys that my toddler son had hidden.

Undoubtedly Saint Anthony giving you faith . .. I mean it isn't like a miracle of healing, but it is intercession . .. it is refered to as a "favor" not a "miracle". .. Angels and Saints look out for us in HEAVEN. GOD has given HIS Angels charge over us on Earth . .. Angels and Saints incidentally are interchangable terms since we call the ARCHANGELS also Saints . .. as you see . .. and The Saints may appear to us also as Angels . ..
Therefore you asked, i hope this gives you faith, as well as teaching you to put your car keys in a place you will remember.
-LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.

Yes I believe in the power of the saints. They get this power form God of course.
Saint Anthony, the Hammer of Heretics, the Ark of the Covenant.
He had many more powers given to him by God to convert people with his speech. His tongue is incorrupt.

Yes I believe St. Anthony is in heaven interceding for us, and yes a lot of my prayers have been answered by his intercession.

It has also been my experience that St. Anthony never fails.

In the Bible Jesus called everyone who belonged to Him a saint. But the Holy spirit is always there to translate your prayers to God. Even though He already knows.

Cool story.
However!!
Why doesn't St Anthony save children from being raped and murdered?

faith can move mountains my friend and God can work in very mysterious ways. He has called many of His servents to Him and I truly believes allows them to work with us still to this day.....

So do you suppose he started the idea of a lost and found?
Because I lost my way and my GPS is broken.
