St. Anthony of Padua is known as the finder of lost objects. He can also help us find the intangibles—such as joy.

Given the state of the world, it’s easy to be mired in grief. But lightness and grace surround us. We just have to look for them.

We’re taught to forgive when we are wronged, to turn the other cheek. Sometimes it’s even more difficult to forgive ourselves.
