Today we are going to see some prayers to find lost objects
Raise your hand who has never lost an important piece of paper, keys or a ring? He searches on one side, returns on the other, and cannot find the object. There is only one way out: appeal to San Longino or San Antonio. These two saints are very popular for finding missing things.
San Antonio and San Longino are known to help find objects
San Longino is invoked with the almost exclusive purpose of finding lost things. Although it is not known exactly if he existed or who Saint Longinus was, the image of him is easily found regularly.
It is a man dressed as a monk and who holds a lantern in his right hand, raised to the height of his face. The devotee prays and makes the request to Saint Longinus, and upon finding the lost piece, he will have to click three heels and shout «San Longinus».
San Antonio, the saint of Padua and Lisbon, as well as a matchmaker, is a great «seeker» of lost things. On the other hand, in the role of matchmaker, it is he who finds the husband for the woman he wants to marry.
For those who lose everything and want to find it urgently, follow the prayer of each saint.
Prayer of Saint Longinus to find lost things
Dear Saint Longuin patron of the poor and helper of those who seek lost objects, help me to find the object that I have lost (it says here the lost object) and that I find a better use for my time and use it to win for God greater honor and glory.
Grant me this grace and its precious help for all who seek what they lost, especially those who seek to find and win again the graces of God and eternal life. Amen.
Saint Anthony’s prayer to find lost objects
I greet you, glorious Saint Anthony, faithful protector of those who hope in you. Since you have received from God the special power to find lost objects, help me at this moment, so that, through your help, I find the object I am looking for (Say the name of the object). Above all, I achieved a living faith, a firm hope, an ardent charity and a docility always ready to God’s desires.
May I not stop only in the things of this world. Know how to value them and use them as something that has been lent to us and fight above all for those things that no thief can take from us and we will never lose. Amen.
