 FEAST
OF ST JUDE- THE MIRACULOUS SAINT
The
Catholic community celebrates the Feast of Saint Jude Thaddeus-
the Miraculous Saint on October 28. Saint
Jude is the patron saint of "lost causes" and "cases
despaired of”. When all other avenues are closed, he is the
one to call upon, and his help often comes at the last moment. He
is one whose aid is sought when all hope is lost, especially in
grave health matters and life-and-death situations.
Saint Jude Thaddeus was closely associated with our Lord by blood
relationship. He preached in Preached in Syria, Mesopotamia, and
Persia with Saint Simon. At the same time, Saint Jude is a healer
and exorcist. He could exorcise pagan idols, which caused the demons
to flee and the statues to crumble.
This miraculous saint is an author of an epistle (letter) to the
Churches of the East, particularly the Jewish converts, directed
against the heresies of the Simonians, Nicolaites, and Gnostics.
However, he is known mainly as the author of the New Testament Epistle
of Jude He 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.
