A true Story: I couldn’t find my vaccination card when I came home after my ankle replacement surgery. I received both shots and a booster. I looked through the hospital folders and overnight bag five times at least. I was worried. I prayed to St. Anthony a lot. I thought it was gone.
Then, I started the Consecration to St. Joseph by Donald Calloway, MIC. As I got into the consecration, I began to see what a powerful friend we have in St. Joseph. Something in me changed. I began to pray again to St. Anthony but with a greater expectation for them to help me find the card.
I couldn’t count how many times I got up out of that chair, elevating my leg for over a month, as many as 10 times a day. I can’t count how many times I looked at the sides of the chair. Then, over a week ago, I sat down, and something poked my right arm. I picked it up, and yes, you guessed it. It was my vaccination card. It was sticking up out of the side of the pocket. Yippee. Praise God. What a relief!
In the Gospel, Jesus asked the two blind men who wanted to see, “Do you believe I can do this?” They responded, “Yes, Lord.” When you have lost hope and have nowhere to turn, pray to St. Anthony and St. Joseph. They helped me. They are waiting to help you, too.
