St. Jude Thaddeus was one of Christ's first Apostles, while also being Jesus' cousin. He authored the book of Jude, a letter to the early churches of the East, while also doing much traveling and sharing the Gospel. A flame is usually depicted above his head as a symbol of the flames that descended upon the Apostles at Pentecost; and he caresses an image of Jesus near his heart for a miracle he worked for a king who had leprosy - the king was cured with this image of Jesus, given to St. Jude by Jesus! For a long period of time, St. Jude was overlooked due to his name being close to Judas Iscariot's, the man who betrayed Christ. However, Jesus inspired devotion to St. Jude through St. Bridget of Sweden, proclaiming him "Patron Saint of the Impossible." St. Jude, pray for us and increase our hope!

Our beautiful wooden box is handcrafted right here in the U.S.A. Measures approximately 4"x6"x2"

Text:
O Holy Apostle Jude Thaddeus,
willing slave of Jesus Christ,
and Saintly succor of all those
in hopeless circumstances,
we beseech you
to answer our prayers
and take up our petitions
as Patron of lost causes
and desperate situations.

Through our shared bond
in the salvation of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
come to our aid and answer
these prayers in the hour
of our greatest desperation.

To the only God, our Savior,
be majesty, power, and authority,
now and forever.
Amen.
