Whenever my siblings and I had any sort of troubling issue my mother would counsel us to invoke the intercession of Saint Jude whose mission is to guide, protect and help. Mom promised that no matter how big our concerns, Saint Jude could handle them. He is, after all, the ‘Patron Saint of Lost Causes’ and he has been known to help those who are in deep despair. So on today’s ‘Saint Jude’s Day’ I would like to take the opportunity to thank him from the bottom of my often-healed heart! I have absolute faith that any time I share a sincere request Saint Jude will interceded almost as quickly as he was invoked. There are special novenas that can be said to Saint Jude, with many different versions offering the same petitioning prayer. But instead of calling on him for help today, I just want to thank him, and hope that those reading this tip will now know of the oceans of assistance available to them, and that they are never alone. Call on Saint Jude and then have full faith that he will help to smooth the wrinkles away!
