St. Jude Thaddeus is a true relative of Jesus and Mary. But was justified not because he was their relative, or a cousin of Jesus. But because He believed in Him wholeheartedly, followed Him, gave up everything for Him by which he died an apostle and a martyr for our faith.
What a great faith St. Jude Thaddeus has! Dear Saint Jude Thaddeus, how deeply and willingly we honor thee. Pray for us to God, o good St. Jude, patron of hopeless and desperate cases. Lead us to Jesus. Show us and guide us the way that we may also spread God’s Word through our works, words and actions. Bring our impossible, desperate and hopeless cases to God who is our Permanent Hope in all things. May we imitate your faith to arrive in heaven our permanent home. St. Jude Thaddeus pray for us. St. Simon the Zealot pray for us. Amen. Amen.
