I can understand your frustration--so many saints, and so many subsequent traditions! But if I get you correctly, you want to have money given back from you that was taken. In that case your petition would be for recovery, and not necessarily for gain. There are several saints we can look at, therefore, who might be able to help you in your course:

- The Anima Sola (Lonely Soul in Purgatory) is an excellent returner of stolen items/people. She torments those people who have done you wrong, and she has the ability to return items to you in your hand, with the punishment of the thief/swindler a usual grace. However she is difficult to please, and can be capricious. You might have to make an offering of your home or business for her to work for you correctly. But usually the Anima Sola is a first-rate alternative when the other saints are too busy on the celestial telephone line.

- Another one I can think of is the Omniscience or Omnipresence of God. In Hebrew it is likened to the shekhinah, the literal and spiritual eminence of the Deity. This aspect of the Holy Spirit is purely retributive; whatever you ask for He will provide, and he punishes those who anger Him or blaspheme His name. There's an excellent lithograph and a description on this site. Look it up; also check the Anna Riva books for prayers to the Holy Spirit of Hate, which is said when someone takes something from you or hurts you in some other way.

- If you want to manage your money, pray either to St. Nicholas (patron of pawnbrokers and moneylenders, and anyone with debts, coming in or going out), or St. Homobonus (lit., "good guy", he gets jobs done with money quickly). I can't stress giving a novena to St Jude (the patron saint of the desperate par-excellence) and St. Alexius (his older, more revered cousin). St. Alexius will get money back even if it isn't yours, and will render the thief contrite in heart and without a penny in his pocket (the legend of course being that St. Alexius was so poor he lived under his parents' staircase).

-Saints with green in their robes are good for praying to money. Green/brown indicate a legal aspect.

I hope this helps.

Figures that the feminine power of God (Shekinah being female) is what got association with a spirit of Hate. *sheesh*
(Although when a woman gets a hate-on, you sure as hell have trouble on your hands - that's for sure! LOL)

What saint should one work with to help get out of debt?

St. Joseph helps with this. He is the Patron saint of workers and the Catholic Church, He always provided for Jesus and Mary as a carpenter. He taught Jesus to be a carpenter too.

I would do a brown candle for him.

Mary

wow thank you... i wrote this so long ago and i was looking at some of my old posts. Anima Sola.... i thought it was acceptable to give her a candle because isn't she the one chained in purgatory, so she loves the light? I just recently found out that the guy who stole money also stole all my jewelry and my mom's jewelry too. I was the only person willing to help him out, I never thought once he'd even try something like that. He had bought me a necklace so I never actually looked in my jewelry drawer to change what i was wearing because all that time i was wearing the necklace he had given me. He left me like 3 silver chains in my jewelry drawer. All my gold is gone and most of the silver... and my mom had some really expensive jewelry that she had bought in Hawaii. A charm bracelet she had since she was little and as certain events in her life occurred, she would add charms to it... it literally had my mom's life on it, which i was hoping to inherit.

Since this guy stole money from my acct, he's been to jail (not for the theft, but for driving with a suspended license). I've filed a police report so that i can get my money back from the bank, but its a long and painful process. Still not finalized. Now he is out of jail and in a rehab program... all that time he was stealing from me and my mom, he was secretly buying booze and getting trashed while i was at work. I actually spoke to him last night and told him about the jewelry missing, and he is denying everything... so its really a mystery where he pawned the jewelry off to. But I have a few ideas. Its a big headache, but i will be filing another police report and my mom is going to call her home insurance to see if they can do anything as well. I am cutting him from my life completely. He keeps telling me he's changed. But he just makes up more lies to cover up his original lies. One day that i went to work, I gave him money to get a oil change... and he told me that he had one... there was no oil change sticker in my window. I asked about it and he said that he was in a rush... another time he said that he told the guy at the oil change place that he didn't need the sticker. Like it sounded like a crock. At first he said that he got the oil change in a town called Chichester, but then he changed it to the Prompt-to Oil Change in the town i live in. Today I go to Valvoline, which is an oil change place. They check the oil gasket to see if it looks new or old. It is a Valvoline gasket... and they looked in their computers and see that the last time I had an oil change was back in July. It was in September that he said that he got the oil change. He lies about everything and everything. He cannot be trusted.
