The Messenger of Hope tour, set Oct. 14-23, includes two fi rst class relics of the Franciscan friar who died in 1231 and was canonized just 11 months later by Pope Gregory IX, faster than any other saint. Franciscan Father Mario Conte, executive editor of Messenger of St. Anthony magazine, will accompany the relics. "St. Anthony's reputation as a fi nder of lost things dates to an incident in the saint's life," he explained. "A novice who had grown tired of religious life decided to leave the Franciscan community, but before leaving he took St. Anthony's psalter.… Anthony prayed that the psal- ter would be found and returned to him. "Anthony's prayers were answered," he continued. "The novice returned the psalter— and returned to the order." The Franciscans urge the faithful to ask for the saint's intercession for more than the loss of material things, but also for those who have lost peace of mind or a sense of direction, and for a just soci- ety where no one is forgotten or lost. Prayer petitions will be accepted by Father Conte, who will take them to St. Anthony's Basilica in Padua, where the relics are housed, and place them at the saint's tomb.
