St. Anthony is a great saint, if he didn't have divine assistance he would have a full time job keeping up with my heartfelt petitions to (1) find whatever it is I lost this time; (2) intercede on behalf of myself or my friends in worry or trouble; (3) pray for the conversion of acquaintances, coworkers, fallen away teenagers, and heathen; (4) enlist the aid of his good friend St. Francis on behalf of the various livestock in the house; etc. etc.
Seriously, he has come through for me many and many a time.
That last painting with the Blessed Mother and St. Francis is a favorite of mine. I did a blog entry on it
here (I even mention you, AAM, in it). ;-)
