the power of restoring lost things

I have never had such a productive relationship with any saint until this year, when Saint Anthony of Padua came to my attention. He is the saint known for helping to find lost things, and I have been blessed to discover that he works with astonishing speed and effectiveness when petitioned. The best description of this phenomenon I have found yet is from a very good Saint Anthony prayer, which begins "Saint Anthony... who received from God the power of restoring lost things..." This same "power of restoring lost things" can be extended beyond material items and include people, as life has shown me.
