If you say a prayer to St. Anthony when you lose something,
he will help you to find it.

Submitter comment: Mrs. Leisner really believes this to be true. Many times
as a young girl I witnessed my mother performing this
ritual, and even now we always know when she has lost
something when we hear her say "St. Anthony help me!"
