Today is the Feast of St. Jude... and also of St. Simon, though he doesn't get much of a look-in. St. Jude was the first saint I really "got to know," and, although I have since made a point of acquiring as many patron saints as possible, he's one of my favourites.
You can read about how I was convinced of the efficacy of praying to the saints by checking out this post...
Yep, my Feast Day too - Happy Birthday to me . . . etc. :-)

ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful post detailing the miraculous intercession of St. Jude in your life. I put part of the account up on my blog (see link above) to encourage people to pray to St. Jude. God bless you always
They have their work cut out from them. My birthday too....
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story. I'm a big believer in praying to the Saints. I pray to several every day, and have received a few minor (though not to me) miracles in my life.
