Saint Jude Thaddeus the Apostle
Patron Saint Of The Impossible
Cases |
 |
|
History:
Saint Jude Thaddeus was one of the 12 Apostles of
Jesus. He was a brother of St. James the Less, and a
relative of Our Savior. Saint Jude was the one who
asked Jesus at the Last Supper why He would not manifest
Himself to the whole world after His resurrection.
Little else is known of his life.
Ancient
writers tell us that he preached the Gospel in Judea,
Samaria, Idumaea, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Lybia.
According to Eusebius, he returned to Jerusalem in the
year 62, and assisted at the election of his brother,
St. Simeon, as Bishop of Jerusalem.

Jude is invoked in desperate situations because
his New Testament letter stresses that the
faithful should persevere in the environment of
harsh, difficult circumstances, just as their
forefathers had done before them.
Saint Jude is the patron saint of desperate
cases. Saint Jude is not the same person as
Judas Iscariot who betrayed Our Lord.

GLORIOUS APOSTLE SAINT JUDE Thaddeus,
True relative of Jesus and Mary,
I salute you through
This Sacred Heart of Jesus!
Through his Heart
I praise and thank God
For all the graces
He has bestowed upon you.
Humbly prostrate before you
I implore you,
Through His Heart,
To look down upon me
With compassion. |
|
Despite my poor prayer;
Let not my trust be confounded!
To you God has granted
The privilege of aiding mankind
In the most desperate cases.
Oh, come to my aid
Until I can thank you in heaven.
All my life I will be your grateful client
Until I can thank you in heaven. Amen.
St. Jude, pray for us
And for all who invoke your aid.
Amen. |
