Devotion of 13 Tuesdays in honour of St. Anthony



ELEVENTH TUSDAY

Introductory Prayer
Meditation

Lost treasures are found again

1. There is another kind of favour and grace which was very frequently obtained through the intercession of the glorious Saint Anthony, and which still more contributed to his renown, namely the recovery of things that were lost. The number of such cases is innumerable.

2. How frequently do we lose or misplace things we are constantly using such as papers, documents, treasured articles, jewels, money, etc. Let us invoke the Saint in all these losses with devotion, simplicity and confidence, and let us not think that in this childlike confidence we are superstitious.

3. But above all let us invoke his aid and with still greater devotion when it is a question of the loss of more important things, especially those which refer to the soul. Why should [we forget him in the things which are transcendental, or consider with indifference that which is spiritual and eternal.

Meditate for a while on these truths and then recite the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be.

Here ask the grace which you desire to receive.
