☦️ Orthodox thanking God for Holy Anthony of Padua ✝️

I found something unusual outside and took it as a sign from my sweet girl dog who passed in March. I put it somewhere and couldn't find it. After looking in most likely places, I quit. Then requested St. Anthony to please uncover it. Some time later a thought came to me and I kinda had a feeling that's where I placed it. And it was.

God is Glorified In His Saints!

things. As time went on the more I asked him to find things the more consistently these things would show up. I really thought these occurrences were coincidences but realized they were not. Always I share my gratitude to him. I wear a medallion with his image.

I am not Catholic, was raised Lutheran and did not celebrate saints. But I do now believe in the power of the Saints.
