More information about St. Jude can be learned from these sermons:
St. Jude Thaddeus: A Crucible of Hope and Our Patron Saint
Christ, you are the mediator of all grace.
From the beginning, you called to yourself
Friends and companions in your service
And empowered them by the Holy Spirit
To proclaim the Good News to the ends of the earth.
We hear the call to be bearers of your love
Today.
Let us, inspired by the example of your Apostle Jude,
Travel the territory of risk, courage, imagination, and faith,
Unfettered by narrow constraints
That you might be available to all humanity.
With simple holiness, quiet deeds, and active presence may we
Reflect the light from your Holy Face,
Offer your healing touch,
And extend your arms
To carry the despairing across the threshold of hope
To new possibilities.
Amen.
