Inner reflection.
How could I celebrate the Feast day of Saint Anthony de Padua when after numerous answered prayer I would say I did not know him that well,
I went to school at Saint Anthony in Manila and is in my heart and prayers.
Yes, I need to know Him more and he answered my Prayer.
This is my Story
After work that night, I went to the Adoration Chapel at Saint Dominic Church in Benicia..
After my silent prayers I took my phone out and read the story of Saint Anthony in my phone application Scrbd.
After my prayers went to my car and as I was about to leave, a lady came and asked me about a retreat I told her way back.
A spiritual retreat in California by Father James Blount S O L T.
Was it just coincidence that his talk will be at Saint Anthony Retreat Center in August?
You can listen to his talk in tube.
My friend told me there is a person inside, she is sick and needs a healing prayer.
I told her we can pray for her so we went inside and prayed over her.
In my prayers, I asked St. Anthony to intercede for her healing, later on she told me that she was likewise praying for Saint Anthony that time as her mother gave her a prayer book and is with her.
While praying at the Adoration Chapel, a deacon came and left a gift for my friend Arlene.
It’s a blessed St. Anthony statue and as I was about to take photo of her gift, with her permission, my phone battery failed/died.
She took this photo from her cell phone. That’s 11:38 pm.
Afterwards, went home and as I opened my Television and switched on EWTN Catholic TV program, I was so surprised. They just begun showing the story of Saint Anthony.
I finished watching Saint Antony story as I did reading his book that night.
Went to the Philippines, September 2019, my friend Obet Pascual and his family from Paete Laguna gave me a statue of Saint Anthony. Hmmm
Thank you Saint Anthony.
please pray for us.
Note.
Many of us have asked intercession and prayers from our Lord Jesus. Know Jesus in the Bible.
For the Saints, do the same, there are books and stories in the internet.
Great stories of love and transformation. They are all like us human, some stories like we have. Story where we can get inspiration.
If they can do it. In our own moment we can.
Know them and live like them. Holy
