3. I am feeling at this minute your initial frustration re unexpected household repairs.

A plumber is here in my house replacing a faucet that had a slow steady drip - costly enough, in that water is inexpensive in my area and could have dripped indefinitely without a huge cost to me.

Now he has informed that there is a clog in the pipe (which was not there previously); he is using an auger to open the pipe, but now tells me he must drill through the wall., etc.

I also love St. Anthony of Padua, but did not get him on the job soon enough in this case.
Now I need the patron of patience in trying circumstances (although I realize this is just nothing in the big picture.)
Thank you for reminding me of the efficacy of calling for (saintly) help.
