St Anthony was a well-known preacher. In fact his first sermon took place when he volunteered to preach at an ordination when the assigned preacher got sick. He also had a favorite book of Psalms, in which he had written some notes. Books were not printed back then, but written by hand. So he was devastated when this book went missing. It was found out that one of the novices decided to leave the convent, and when he left, he took this book with him. St Anthony prayed hard that it will be somehow returned to him. Lo and behold, that novice decided to return, and with him came that missing book of Psalms. So St Anthony became known as the go–to person when something is lost. We’ve done it many times when we misplaced some object and went praying on our knees to St Anthony. And very often, he comes through.
