Finally, she wrote one more letter and this time, asked for St. Anthony's intercession that her letter would arrive safely to her husband overseas. Practically overnight, her letter was miraculously delivered to her husband and returned with his reply within a few days! This was particularly miraculous because back in 1729, the postal journey from Orviedo, Spain to Lima, Peru would have taken many months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eInspired by this miraculously instantaneous mail delivery, the S.A.G. devotion began. Many Catholics were inspired to inscribe the initials “S.A.G.” on their own letters, asking St. Anthony of Padua to guide and protect their mail on its journey for a safe and quick delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatholic Wax Seal Stamps are a beautiful way to plant the seeds of faith and to start conversations about Catholicism when mailing anything! They're especially perfect for enclosing invitations, or giving gifts for Catholic Sacraments like Catholic weddings, Baptisms, Ordinations, and more; personal letters to loved ones, birthday cards, thank you cards, and casual correspondence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'd love to see how you use our Catholic wax seal stamps!
