St. Anthony of Padua
June 13
Patron: of Lost Things

The reason for invoking St. Anthony’s help in finding lost or stolen things is traced back to an incident in his own life. As the story goes, Anthony had a book of psalms that was very important to him. Besides the value of any book before the invention of printing, the psalter had the notes and comments he had made to use in teaching students in his Franciscan Order.

A novice who had already grown tired of living religious life decided to depart the community. He took Anthony’s psalter. Upon realizing his psalter was missing, Anthony prayed it would be found or returned to him. And after his prayer the thieving novice was moved to return the psalter to Anthony and to return to the Order, which accepted him back. Legend has embroidered this story a bit, but the theft and return of the book would seem to be true. The stolen book is said to be preserved in the Franciscan friary in Bologna.

St. Anthony was only 35-years-old when he died and was canonized less than one year afterward by Pope Gregory IX. He is typically depicted with a book and the Infant Child Jesus and is commonly referred to today as the "finder of lost articles."
