Hello,

Not to be cliche, but have you tried asking St. Anthony for help?

St. Anthony of Padua is the patron saint of lost and stolen things. I cannot begin to tell you how effective a small prayer or spell cast using his name has been for me. Here are some folk rhymes and spells that have worked for me in the past.

Spell I:

Anthony! Anthony!

Look around, somethings lost and must be found.

Spell II:

Anthony guide me by the wrist,

Help me find what's lost and missed.

Spell III:

While holding a brown candle, pray that you will find the item you are seeking. Carve your name into the candle, as well as the name of the lost item.

Carefully dress the candle in olive oil, then burn it.

Sorry for the long wait on such a time sensitive issue, hope you find what is lost.

Okay i think the hyperfixation is over but i also think Saint would fit best as an Elden Ring MC because they both become god at the end. No I didn't make an anthro Saint design solely for this idk what youre talking about

"If you cannot afford a lamb, one will be appointed to you."

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. Joseph continues reading about Jewish law from his brochure (continued from last week's cartoon).  In Jewish tradition, the sacrifice for a newborn boy was typically one yearling lamb (for the sin offering) and one turtledove (for the burnt offering).  As Mary and Joseph discuss this, the Holy Spirit (a dove, but not for sacrifice) shows up to give a knowing glance at Baby Jesus.  You see, Jesus is called the "Lamb of God," and His mission is to be sacrificed for our sins, so it's ironic that His parents are required to sacrifice a lamb for HIM under Jewish law. 2. A few commenters last week were concerned about Mary and Joseph sleeping too close together in their blanket fort, as it challenges the perpetual virginity of Mary (a core Catholic belief).  I argue that Mary and Joseph are a poor married couple sleeping in a barn that's open to the cold and creatures of nature, so the chaste and honorable Joseph would probably stay near his Holy Family for their protection, instead of sleeping apart and leaving them vulnerable.  No scandal here! 3. A few commenters last week argued about the perpetual virginity of Mary (the belief that she remained a virgin after Jesus's birth; a belief held by the early Church even before the Bible was canonized).  I just wanted to say that I'm thrilled and honored that my comics appeal to people of all religions, including other Christian denominations.  It moves me every time I get a comment from someone who isn't Catholic but loves my work.  That said, I AM Catholic, so please understand that my comics follow the canon of Catholicism when I can help it.  No hard feelings.  Of course, you're all welcome to continue giving me suggestions and debating in the comments (good-naturedly, of course).  I've learned so much by listening and looking into your apologetics.
