☦️+✝️ I vowed to venerate Holy Anthony of Padua and proclaim his name publicly when he helps me.

And he did again earlier. 2 evenings I looked all over for something. Tonite was strong sense I would find it and I did. On one kitchen counter! 🤭 I was drawn to it.

st jude helped me through cancer and i lit a candle at his local shrine. I still owe him a novena. maybe this winter.

my rosary has a relic of blessed seelos, but he does not count the beads for me.

note to self - relics

the relic is like encased in wax or plastic , and sometimes seems like a weird medieval superstition

my other relic is paper, St Padre Pio. is this maybe a 2nd class relic?

many times each day.
Special thanks to St. Christopher, the large, strong man who carried people across waters, whom I invoke several times per day to keep me from falling as I arise from various sitting positions.
Even though I'm considered quite elderly, I haven't fallen as yet and my goal is to continue in that manner.
