Thank you, Saint Jude!
LET TER S FROM PATRONS OF THE ROSARY SHRINE OF SAINT JUDE
Each month at the Rosary
Shrine of Saint Jude, we
receive many letters,
emails, and Facebook
messages from the thankful
clients of Saint Jude and
Our Lady. Here are just
a few of these inspiring
messages:
W
hen I was a young
mother with three
small children living in a bad neighborhood, I prayed
to St. Jude to intercede for us. We needed a home
in a safe neighborhood. Just by chance I heard of
a program for low-income families. I bought our
new home only to find out that the parish it was
in was named after St. Jude. Forty-one years later,
I still live in my home enjoying the community of
St. Jude the Apostle Church!

T
hank you Saint Jude for taking care of our
daughter and helping her heal from a long
period of emotional stress. We prayed for both
our children and our prayers came true. We asked
for Saint Jude’s help and he guided the hand of a
doctor and provided a direction for our children.

M
y wife went into the hospital for 51 days. She
was on life support. Her kidneys and liver
shut down. All of our kids, grandchildren, and
people from our parish were praying for her. Father
gave last rites. I didn't leave her alone. I said the
Rosary all day everyday. With all the prayers and
good doctors, she made it after being hospitalized
for 51 days and having doctors say she wouldn't

be going home. She is home. She needs oxygen an
has to move slowly, but my wife - the woman God
gave me to share my life with - is still with me. I
thank St. Jude, Mother Mary, and especially Jesus
Christ - God. I also thank everyone who helped pray.

A
s a young pre-teen I prayed every night for my
parents to be able to have their marriage blessed
in the Church. I never stopped even as I grew up.
After I had married and had three children, I got
a call from my father one day saying he and my
mother were getting their marriage blessed in the
Church. After I hung up I sat down and thought,
"Oh my God it really works, prayer really works."
I have never stopped thinking about that day.
My dad was so happy. They were able to live the
rest of their lives receiving the Eucharist and the
other sacraments they waited so long for. Thank
you Lord for my Catholic upbringing and parents
who deserve any graces they have received from
you. I'm sure they are with you in Heaven now.
That is a comfort for me as I try to live my life for
the same goal.
