Questions People ask                                                                    (Fr O’Flynn – Intercom)

Q. Why is St Anthony the saint for finding lost objects?

A. One story goes that a young novice, Brother Louis, stole the manuscript of a book that Anthony was writing, hoping to achieve fame and fortune by selling the work as his own. Anthony was more upset by the novice’s loss of vocation than the loss of the manuscript, so he prayed that Louis would find his vocation. Poor Louis had a terrifying experience in a storm, so he hurried back in sorrow to Anthony who helped him find the way to follow his vocation. On hearing about the finding of the lost manuscript, people began to ask Anthony to pray when they had lost something. There is one catch with St Anthony: he expects a person to make a donation for feeding the poor.

  A teacher said to a precocious six-year-old boy, "So your mother says your prayers for you each night? That's very commendable. What does she say?" The little boy replied, "Thank God he's in bed!"
