Today is the feast day of one of my favorite saints, St. Jude patron of desperate cases (which explains why the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital chose him as their patron too). He was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus who later preached the Gospel in Judea, Samaria, Idumaea, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Lybia. St. Jude is one of my favorites because I always feel like he has a special place in Heaven where he can whisper into God's ear on my behalf. Of course, I believe in praying to God directly but a little extra help can't hurt! So for all of you who may need a miracle or two, you know the one to talk to!
