St. JUDE THADDAEUS
Patron of Hopeless Causes and of Despair
Feast Day, 28 October
One of the original Twelve Apostles of Jesus, St. Jude, also called Thaddeus (a surname meaning ‘amiable or loving’) is known as the brother of St. James the Lesser. St. Jude was given the second name of Thaddeus possibly to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot. Tradition says St. Jude was the son of Mary of Cleophas who stood with Our Lady beneath the Cross and his father was the brother of St. Joseph and martyred after the death of Christ.
St. Jude’s one-chapter Epistle in the New Testament is considered to be marked with humility. Nowhere does he refer to himself as a cousin of Jesus Christ, but merely as his servant. It is said that St. Jude was martyred in Persia or Syria around 65 AD. His body was brought to St. Peter's Basilica in Rome where it remains today.
Prayer to St. Jude is finding faith to not give up hope when met with impossible circumstances.
