Prayer to Saint Anthony to Find What is Lost

St. Anthony of PaduaPicture source

St. Anthony, when you prayed, your stolen book of prayers was given back to you. Pray now for all of us who have lost things precious and dear.
Pray for all who have lost faith, hope or the friendship of God.
Pray for us who have lost friends or relatives by death.
Pray for all who have lost peace of mind or spirit.
Pray that we may be given new hope, new faith, new love.
Pray that lost things, needful and helpful to us, may be returned to our keeping.
Or, if we must continue in our loss, pray that we may be given Christ’s comfort and peace. Amen.

My pied cockatiel flew away on June 14th 2013 around 7:30 in the morning. I was transporting him over my neighbors because I was going on vacation and she watches him...long story short I layed the cage outside for a few minutes and there's an opening outside of the cage one of the doors where I put his food in was broken and as soon as I touched the cage he flew right out... It's been almost 2 weeks now he's been gone he was last seen last week on wensday... I've tried everything... I put flyers up talk to alot of businesses and they put flyers up of him, he's on Craigslist... I have a pet amber alert on him... Yes it's reall look it up online petamberalert.com, I'm 17 and this bird is my life he was like my son I took exceptional care of him, the best of everything he got, from food to toys to vet care, I miss the little guy I'm hoping he's still alive, I've tried everything... I need The Lord to help me on this one. So please help me pray for mutu my cockatiels return back home! This is where he belongs... I'd be the happiest person if I'd got him back... So please help me pray
Thanks

Kyle, an urgent prayer request has been posted. We are praying.

We are praying for Lucky!

Kyle said...

His names not lucky, his names mutu (:

EC Gefroh said...

Kyle, ask St.Anthony to help you find Mutu. We are praying for his safe return home and for you. Pray, hope and don't worry - St. Padre Pio.

Kyle said...

Oh nevermind I'm sorry your replying to someone else's prayer request, my fault. And thankyou for the urgent prayer request I appreciate it very much

Kyle said...

Any specific prayers? Or pray directing it toward Saint Anthony?

EC Gefroh said...

Thanks for letting me know Mutu's name. BTW, have you kept the cage in sight with the cage door open? http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-get-a-lost-bird-to-come-87826Also, we have a Facebook page and I posted your prayer request there too.
https://www.facebook.com/PrayersForOurPets Also, I know how you feel as I did the same thing the other day and my pet dove flew out. But doves are not that good in returning to their home. But cockatiels are very smart birds.

EC Gefroh said...

Kyle, this is a prayer I have on the sidebar of the blog: Dear St. Anthony,
you are the patron of the poor and
the helper of all who seek lost articles.
Help me to find the beloved pet I have lost
so that I will be able to make better use of the time that I will gain for God's greater honor and glory. Grant your gracious aid to all people
who seek what they have lost---
especially those who seek to regain God's grace.
Amen.

Kyle said...

Yes I've kept his cage in sight in the driveway with food and water in the cage, I just haven't seen him since the day he flew away, I'm hoping he's still in Worcester MA.. I know he's looking for me. I just don't know where he is, by the grace of god and saint Francis and Saint Anthony help guid my bird to fly back to my house so he can see his cage and realize that's his home!

EC Gefroh said...

Kyle, be sure to post fliers, check the animal shelter, Craigslist and ask people. He is most likely looking for you too.

Kyle said...

I have done everything! From flyers, to talkin to everyone to having his flyer faxed to every single veterinary clinic in Worcester, police and fire station know, post office knows, Worcester animal reacue league knows... I've done everything

EC Gefroh said...

Yes you have Kyle. Now you have to trust in God to answer your prayers as He seems fit. His will be done.

Kyle said...

Thankyou, hopefully god chooses my bird to come back to me and that seems fit, but we will see...for now I'm going to continue to pray

Both my sister and niece died, sis in '07 and her daughter this February.

I need prayers badly

Please pray for the safe return of my 10 year old kitty, Steise (Pronounced Stesha - it’s a Gaelic name). My husband left a screen on the front porch open on Wednesday August 7th at approx 3am. Stesh and my other indoor cat Gabriele Seamus jumped out the window. Gabe doesn’t take off- so at 6:45am I was sitting on our side porch having my coffee and Gabe came walking up through the garden mulch meowing..I came off the porch and snatched him up and immediately came inside to do a head count. No sign of Steise. I have been searching for her tirelessly. I live in a rural area..our 1.26 acre lot is surrounded by 80 acres of field corn and there are woods directly across the road from our house. I have a humane trap set for her, and some of the tops I wore this week hanging out around the house and also set Tuna Fish in our barn last night, but when I checked it this morning it was untouched, so I disposed of it. She is microchipped and I contacted Homeagainpetrecovery.com. I have contacted all my neighbors and handed out flyers. I have been in contact with a “Pet Detective” from Missing Pets Partnership (EXCELLENT Website!!!). Your prayers are greatly appreciated. Stesh is NOT an outdoor cat. She is very fearful and skittish. and classified as a Xenophobic cat, so according to the experts, she is not far away (unless she got spooked or chased), but is too scared to move and will remain in hiding. When someone comes over to our house, she hides and will not come out until long after our guest(s) have left. Your prayers are greatly appreciated and I am praying for all the beloved fur kids posted here. Thank you all- I am beside myself and trying to keep the faith that she will come home.

I'm begging for prayer for a lost and terrified foster dog. 2 weeks ago, a rescue greyhound got loose from her handler and ran 6 miles up I-95 until she veered off into the woods. This poor girl is extremely skiddish, very terrified of men and was on our way to our home for fostering when she got loose. I have prayed for this sweet Girl's safe return, but so far no luck. We have had sightings, multiple traps out for her, people out everyday spreading the word as well as news stations and radio involved. Her name is Sookie and she's a 3 yr old black ex-racing greyhound. We love her and miss her, please pray for her safe return.

Please pray for us to find Ginger a rescued dog that was adopted by a kind lady. Ginger was at the groomer's when she sneaked out through the opened gate. It's been more than a week since 16 Sept 2013. We know she's still walking around the city near where she was lost. Please let us find her. She was sighted at a few places. Please pray for her safety and that she could come towards us as we do our search or a kind soul will help bring her back to safety. St Anthony we plea for your intercession to pray for her to be reunited with her adopter. Amen.

My cat Nunsie went missing last Thursday. He's a sweet orange and white foot tabby who I love with all my being! He goes out during the day, we have a cat door but he's always around when I get home. Thursday he was just gone. We live in the woods so he could be anywhere. I've created flyers and have patrolled the street we live on to be sure he hasn't been hit. Thank goodness I haven't found any sign of that. But my heart is broken and I've prayed and prayed and prayed for his safe return. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Please pray for the safe return of my daughter's small black cat Serra, who has been missing for three days. She does go outside but has not strayed before. My daughter is understandably upset as this is the second black cat to go walkabout. Thank you from Annabel in rural Northamptonshire, UK.

Please pray for my baby Chester. He is the sweetest little cockatiel, and we were planning to celebrate his first birthday next month. My baby boy has been lost for 6 days now and I have done everything I possibly can to get him back. I am devastated, so worried if he has found food, shelter and water and can't stop thinking about how he is surviving in the harsh wild. Now all that is left to do is hope and pray for his safe return. Please pray that he may find a safe place to rest for the night, and be found healthy and safe tomorrow to be reunited with his loving family. Thank you.

My furry grandson Smokey, aka Meow Meow, has been missing from my home since July 13, 2014. He's normally an indoor cat and got out. He's a skidish boy and we've been having a lot of thunderstorms in the area lately. I hope wherever he is, he's safe and has shelter, food and water. I've contacted the local humane society, homeless cat project and posted on Facebook and Craigslist. For the past few days, my family and I have been searching the woods and neighborhood looking for him. I miss him so much. Please pray for his safe return.

My dog somehow got out of the house today and I have looked all over the neighborhood and couldn't find her. Her name is tequila and she's been with me since she was a puppy. When I got her she weighed 8oz. I was very sick at the time and she instantly knew that we belonged together. She has gone through so much with me , my illnesses, my children's departure to college, my divorce, the death of my mom and now living with my dad who has alzheimers. She was my sanity my best friend. I am so worried about her. She was not used to going outside. Can you please say a prayer for her safety and if possible her safe return?

Unknown said...

My best friends dog named Publix went missing this Sunday around 9am. She means so much to us and we ask for assistance in praying for her to come home. She loves to explore the backyard and neighborhood and usually always comes back within 16 minutes. We think there is something preventing her from finding her way back. We hope she is safe and that someone will soon turn her in to the shelter or call us based on the flyers we have posted all around. Please pray for sweet Publix she is literally the best dog in this whole world!

Please St. Anthony, bring my dog Snickers home. He has been missing since Monday, 11/16/2015, around 8:30 pm. I lived in a raised home, and I took him downstairs to go potty, then quickly darted back up the stairs to avoid getting bitten by mosquitos. after about 10-15 minutes I went to see what he was doing back there, and he was nowhere to be found in the back yard. I have a completely fenced in back yard - but he got out somehow. I didn't have his collar on him...I took it off when we got home from the Vet on Friday, 11/13. He has a bladder infection and was on antibiotics when he left. I have plastered flyers everywhere in the neighborhood. I received a call Tuesday evening saying he was seen crossing a busy highway into another neighborhood. I have been plastering flyers & searching that area for the last 2 days, nobody I've talked to has seen him. I have also posted on every social media site I can think of. Snickers is a male, neutered, yorkie, and he is 11 years old. He is a pampered, inside dog. I am so lost without him and worried sick for him. I pray for his safe return. He is very loved & missed, I would give just about anything to have him back.

I am on my hands and knees begging the Lord to help me find my Tinkerbell, a 16 year old Jack Russell Terrier that has been missing since 3/9/17. I have put posts online, I've called the police and shelters and vet offices. I put up posters and handed out flyers. I have searched in all directions around my home. She has never wandered far but has been seen at the edge of the yard near the road in the past. I fear in my heart that someone has picked her up and is not going to return her. I am thankful to anyone that may have picked her up and is keeping her safe and warm but I am pleading with all my heart that they come forward and tell someone that they have her, that they please bring her back home. We have never meant for any harm to come to our sweet little old girl. Please say a prayer that we may be forgiven and that our precious Tinkerbell is safe and will be returned to us, her family.
