Through his very nature as the Guardian of Prosperity and his effort in helping others, it is quite evident that Saint Christopher’s calling in life was to seek the betterment and wealth of others.
As proof of his abilities in bringing fortune to travelers, there is an old medal which bears an image of Saint Christopher mantled with the words “Grant Me Good Fortune.” The saint’s blessing was such that whoever wore the medal would not have a disastrous accident that day. This legend of the medal and the guarantees it brings are the primary reason why at one point, over 3 million of these medals were minted during the war in the Mediterranean.
Upon meeting a hermit who took him in and instructed him on the right path, Christopher fixed his mind to serve Christ and set out to remain a hermit. Through his devotion to Christ and acts of charity, many people sought him out for guidance. This confirmed his status as the Patron Saint of Travelers.
According to legend, Saint Christopher was a tall, strong man who could not bear the thought of serving a greater power. He originally served the Devil because he saw the Devil as the more powerful of the two. However, when he saw the Devil avoiding a cross on the side of the road, he questioned the Devil and was told that the sight of the cross would cause the Devil to lose power. From this point, he sought out Christ. He is most often referred to as the man who carried Christ across the river.
For a very long time, Saint Christopher has been recognized as the “Guardian of Prosperity.” His numerous legends and attributes all point to the fact that this Patron Saint of Travelers has an uncanny ability to help those in need and bring fortune to the less fortunate.
Apart from the needs of the common traveler, the seeking of luxury items has been taken quite differently at different stages of the church’s history.
At times, outright bans have been placed on the import or sale of certain items, classing them as damaging to the moral fiber of the Christian community and thus labeling any who procure such items as sinners.
While not condoning the disobedience of ecclesiastical law, the saint’s followers would pray to him to intercede on their behalf, asking only that they might be able to purchase such items without committing sinful acts and thus avoiding the many pitfalls that lead a person into poverty. In modern times, this has been seen as a prayer for guidance in making wise investments, ensuring that one might reap the rewards of their labor without suffering loss.
To aid in accumulating their wealth, travelers and merchants would prayerfully invoke Saint Christopher’s protection, praying for his vigilance and guidance in making their journeys as safe as possible.
Here, his role as the patron saint of travel, written in most historical texts, comes into play as the provider of the wealth-bestowing touch. Herein lies his role in acquiring prosperity, safeguarding both the lives and possessions of his believers.
By ensuring that nothing should hinder the traveler on his way from purchasing what is needed to sustain life and livelihood, to acquiring those things that are considered luxury items, Saint Christopher embodies the spirit behind the accumulation of wealth.
A far more simple and common means of invoking Christopher’s aid is to merely pray to him whenever one is faced with financial difficulty.
Monetarists and coin collectors can take advantage of the various medals, coins, and even currency issued with Christopher’s image. Many have reported that just carrying one of these items in their wallet miraculously prevented them from going into debt or running out of money.
A practice learned from the Far East involves having an amulet made with Christopher’s name in the form of a sigil or several pieces of script. This is based on the belief that magical entities recognize writing as a valid form of summoning, and having the sigil of a spirit or demon would dominate it. The same reasoning also applies to angels and saints. An example of a Saint Christopher money sigil can be found at the end of this article.
Do not leave the “Prayers and Rituals” section without offering practical advice on how to invoke the intercession of Saint Christopher. As was mentioned earlier, Christopher is often a silent advocate, working behind the scenes. Time-honored tradition has it that if you bury, head downwards, a small statue or medal of Saint Christopher in your front yard, you will not only sell your home quickly but also reap a financial profit. This hearkens back to Christopher’s patronage as the god of fruitfulness and fertility.
One instance of a miracle associated with travelers involved a young man on a motorbike trip around the mountains in Japan. He had little or no money and was counting on the goodwill and hospitality of those he met on the way. Climbing a steep path, eventually, he tried to ride the bike up it but was forced to admit defeat and return to a small hotel at the bottom.
The subsequent day, he discovered that had he made it to the top of the trail, he would have arrived at a tiny village that had just the previous week been chosen for some street development by the local government. The hotel owner, understanding things to come, suggested that the traveler’s bike would be in the way and asked him to move it. Returning to the trail, the traveler discovered that it had been completely covered in rolled tarmac and knowing that had he arrived slick week, he would have been trapped in the village until it was done and surely would have run out of cash.
As a result of his mystical and legendary character, Saint Christopher has apparently been able to listen to and reply to individuals in need.
There is a wealth of stories regarding individuals who have invoked the saint’s help in times of trouble and have been miraculously aided. There are also those who, having pledged themselves to the service of St. Christopher, have received that help in more refined ways. The following selection of stories and testimonials will attest to the saint’s ability to intercede on behalf of individuals seeking to develop wealth.
Once an initial connection has been made, ask Saint Christopher for a clear sign that he is actively helping you. Continue to make efforts in saving money and wise spending in your daily life.
By speaking to him during prayer sessions and asking for his help to recognize when he is giving you guidance, you may experience some remarkable outcomes. Success won’t happen overnight, and it will take effort to establish good money management and attain financial stability. Be patient, and Saint Christopher will surely reward your dedication.
It is good to set up an altar in your home where you can place a statue or picture of Saint Christopher. This will be a focal point for your prayers and devotion, as well as a visible reminder of your patron saint. Light a green or yellow candle next to his image to ask for financial help. Use a Saint Christopher medal that has been blessed to wear on a daily basis. Some people have also experienced tangible beneficial financial outcomes by carrying a Saint Christopher medal in their wallet or purse.
This would also be a good place to put some offering to Saint Christopher to show your appreciation and dedication. A glass of water is said to bring blessings from above, and there are many traditional Catholic saints candles that can be found in a variety of scents and purposes. Money or candles are typical offerings to represent financial help. Periodically change these offerings and keep the candles lit whenever it is safe to do so. It is essential to continue to ask for guidance from God while performing any of these activities.
Saint Christopher is a saint known to help people who dedicate themselves to him. There are many ways to do this, but it is of great importance that you do something to show that you are serious about your dedication. To be successful in receiving financial blessings and to also have money management, one must first establish a bond with Saint Christopher.
Each day, when waking, greet Saint Christopher and ask for his support for that day. This is a small commitment but is very effective for it is carrying out the initial act of respect and is also a basic form of daily prayer. If there’s a difficult day ahead, then let Saint Christopher know and ask that he will help you through it. If possible, lighting a candle while a request is being said will enhance the effect. Timing this is also important. Do this when you will not be rushed or preoccupied with tasks. This enables oneself to address Saint Christopher in a more focused manner and removes it from becoming a chore. Remember to blow the candle out safely and NEVER leave it unattended. A small prayer can also be said, though remember it’s the message rather than the words that count. A simple example is “Saint Christopher, please be with me and help me through __ day. I ask this so that I may prevail. Amen.”
Firstly, an individual must select a specific representation or picture of Saint Christopher (if they do not already have one) to associate with his image. This is so that they have a focus point. Sometimes people have trouble finding a modern picture representing Saint Christopher. For a good but not ideal picture, try these ones. Print it out, and it’d be good if it was in color, not black and white. Take the picture and place it where you will see it each day, such as beside the bed or on the fridge.
It has been said that Saint Christopher is most earnestly attentive to the prayers of farmers and motorists, due to the nature of his patronage. A simple prayer to the saint before embarking on a journey is likely to put you in his good graces. If you are seeking his intercession specifically for financial reasons, it would be very apt to offer up a prayer while in the act of searching for a job or career progression. In doing this, one can form a lasting habit of prayer to the saint, and it is not unlikely that devotion in prayer will bring the desired financial change.
Another option would be to hold a novena to the saint. A novena is a 9-day prayer in anticipation of a feast day. Although there is no official novena to Saint Christopher, any 9 days of prayer with honest devotion should be quite effective.
The most effective way to gain Saint Christopher’s attention is to appeal to him on his feast day, which falls on the 9th of July. In order to gain the most grace from this event, one should attend mass that day and receive Holy Communion. It would be even more effective if the saint was visited at a local church or shrine, and individual prayer conducted there.
When preparing to receive Saint Christopher’s blessings, a simple prayer of invocation will suffice. However, if you wish to establish a closer relationship with the saint earlier on, there are assorted activities you can engage in.
Cindy wrote in to say she was amazed at the assistance and guidance she received from Saint Christopher during a crucial point in her career. She successfully completed a very competitive health educational program and entered the job market full of optimism and high expectations, only to constantly face setbacks and hardships. She struggled for months and became increasingly disillusioned, and her goals seemed ever more distant. Due to the competitive nature of today’s job market and economic recession, her finances neared the breaking point and she became desperate to find a stable, rewarding job. At this crucial juncture, she began seeking help through prayer and visited the Saint Christopher webpage. She left her contact information and gave a brief description of her situation, asking for advice on how to adjust her approach to find a job that will lead to personal and financial stability. A few days later, she was contacted by email with a very specific response and guidance. She followed this advice step by step and began noticing specific improvements. She is now happily employed at a job that is in line with her long-term career goals and very pleased with the advice received from Saint Christopher.
Ex-convict Mike participated in a study of the “dreamer accumulation” technique for 3 years and was able to manifest the job of his dreams with a 500% pay increase. This new job will allow Mike to achieve financial stability as he aggressively pays off his student loan debt. Mike asked Saint Christopher for help once he was selected as a finalist. Mike wrote: “I am looking heavily to a single specific goal that I wish to accomplish in the next week. Coming away from a series of job interviews, I am hoping to get selected for a very specific position that I feel is right for me. The interview process was lengthy, but I feel that it went well. I would like for you to guide things so that I am indeed hired for this position.” He is thankful for the intercession and guidance of Saint Christopher in the accomplishment of his life goals, especially during this important week.
Jesus has prepared something extraordinary for those ready to take the next step in faith and abundance. With this gift, you’ll discover renewed hope, prosperity, and the strength to overcome life’s greatest challenges.
