Can anyone help me out? I just received a letter from a young woman who had been in a cloistered for a few years.
She only uses snail mail, so by the time I write to her and hear back again, I'm sure it will be several weeks - if not longer. (I am not very good at snail mail.)

Anyway, on the back of the letter, she wrote + S.A.G. Does anyone know what SAG means? It could also be a Latin acronym, like AMDG (which her mother uses all the time.)

Thanks!

S.A.G. stands for "St. Anthony, guide," as in "Saint Anthony, guide this letter/package/whatever safely to its destination."

Back in the day, there was this lady whose husband was on business somewhere far away. She urgently needed to write to him and ask for money, but, due to the great distance between them, it was virtually impossible that her letter would actually make it to him, much less arrive in any reasonable time. So, the pious woman decided to put the letter in the hand of a statue of St. Anthony in the local church.

The very next day, she went to the statue to pray and found a letter from her husband. She also found a large sum of money with her letter. In the letter, her husband said that her letter had arrived by a Franciscan friar and that he was returning it by the same friar. And they all lived happily ever after.

The letter is still kept and preserved at the church where the statue was.
