GSAINT FOR THE MONTH
-

-
-
St. Jude, known as Thaddaeus,
was a brother of St. James the Less, and a relative of Our Saviour. St.
Jude was one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus.
-
-
-
-
-
- Ancient
writers tell us that he preached the Gospel in Judea, Samaria, Idumaea,
Syria, Mesopotamia, and Lybia. According to Eusebius, he returned to
Jerusalem in the year 62, and assisted at the election of his brother,
St. Simeon, as Bishop of Jerusalem.
-
-
-
-
-
- He is an
author of an epistle (letter) to the Churches of the East, particularly
the Jewish converts, directed against the heresies of the Simonians,
Nicolaites, and Gnostics.
-
-
-
-
-
- This
Apostle is said to have suffered martyrdom in Armenia, which was then
subject to Persia. The final conversion of the Armenian nation to
Christianity did not take place until the third century of our era.
-
-
-
-
-
- Jude was
the one who asked Jesus at the Last Supper why He would not manifest
Himself to the whole world after His resurrection. Little else is known
of his life. Legend claims that he visited Beirut and Edessa; possibly
martyred with St. Simon in Persia.
-
-
-
-
-
- Jude is
invoked in desperate situations because his New Testament letter
stresses that the faithful should persevere in the environment of harsh,
difficult circumstances, just as their forefathers had done before them.
Therefore, he is the patron saint of desperate cases and his feast day
is October 28. Saint Jude is not the same person as Judas Iscariot who
betrayed Our Lord and despaired because of his great sin and lack of
trust in God's mercy.
