TENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JUNE 9, 2024
ST. ANTHONY FINDER OF LOST
ARTICLES
Legend has I that Anthony was the novice master at a
friary in Montpellier, France. One of his charges was a
somewhat dicontented novice named Louis. When he
wasn’t at prayer or teaching the nov-ices, Anthony
devoted his time to writing a book of the psalms – he had
worked on it for years. One afternoon, the manuscript
vanished, and Anthony searched carefully to no avail.
Having no other recoures, he prayed for its recovery.
At the same time, it seems that Br. Louis, the dis-
contented novice, had disappeared as well and had
been seen leaving with a somewhat manuscript-sized
parcel. Anthony, believing that Louis was much more
valuabe than his manuscript prayed that Louis would
find his true path in life.
The Legend says that the former Br. Louis, while on his
way to sell the manuscript as his own, was moved to
return the stolen book and turn his life around. So, Louis
went back to the friary and returned the stolen
manuscript. St. Anthony became his mentor, and from
that time forward Anthony’s prayers were sought
whenever something was lost.
It’s a tradition that continues today. For centuries, when
Catholics have lost something important – their car keys
or their way in life, they’ve sought the prayers of St.
Anthony.

everything with God, even the abyss of pain and death.
