MoJo needed....iPod is lost!

[overcome]

Again! Last time this happened I posted requesting mojo and it was found! Hoping it works again. I am making myself crazy looking for it :-(

Could be worse, I know, but would still appreciate some positive thoughts for the most expensive toy in our house to show up!!!

Thanks

When DD's went missing I found it in the kangaroo-style pocket of a sweatshirt that was hanging in MY closet.

Hope yours turns up!

We have had a wave of missing things, and my kids always want to pray to St Anthonly. The catholic school tuition is paying off by finding our lost things (ear molds, cell phone,...) The findings are not always immediate, but we have found stuff! If you believe I have posted the prayer below, it is worth the try!

This prayer to St. Anthony asks for help in finding missing items:


Saint Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find (mention your petition) which has been lost. As least restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even more than my material loss.

To this favor I ask another of you: that I may always remain in possession of the true good that is God. Let me rather lose all things than lose God, my supreme good. Let me never suffer the loss of my greatest treasure, eternal life with God. Amen.


Here’s another good prayer: Wondrous Saint Anthony, glorious for the fame of your miracles, you had the happiness of receiving in your arms our blessed Lord as a little child. Obtain for me from His mercy this favor that I desire from the bottom of my heart: (mention your request)

Since you were so gracious to poor sinners, do not regard the lack of merit on the part of him who calls upon you, but consider the glory of God, which will by exalted once more through you, by the salvation of my soul and the granting of the petition that I now earnestly present to you.

As a pledge of my gratitude, I beg you to accept my promise to live henceforth more faithfully according to the teaching of the Gospel and to be devoted to the service of the poor whom you ever loved and still love so much. Bless this my resolution and obtain for me the grace to be faithful to it till death. Amen.

And, finally, here are some shorter prayers to St. Anthony:

Saint Anthony, great wonder-worker, intercede for us that God may grant us our request if it be for the good of our soul.

Saint Anthony, be our patron, our protector, and our advocate in life and in death.

Saint Anthony, attentive to those who invoke thee, grant us the aid of thy powerful intercession for the grace of holy purity, meekness, humility, obedience, the spirit of poverty, and perfect abandonment to the will of God.

Saint Anthony, servant of Mary, obtain for us greater devotion to the blessed Mother of God.

Although St. Anthony’s feast day is June 13th, his aid can be invoked at any time. Let us try to emulate this devoted servant of God in our love of helping others. These additional prayers to St. Anthony (much like his sermons eight centuries ago, no doubt!) can also help bring us closer to our Creator.

Wow...even if the iPod doesn't turn up, my post was worth to learn your version of prayer to st Anthony. Mine is not nearly so formal....love yours!!

[karstmama]

we lost ours for a week, and it was between the two pieces of the couch sections, so i couldn't see it when i was looking under the couch. another time, it was under the little plastic bottom piece that helps keep a fabric tote bag open. so keep looking, and mojo to you!
