St. Jude: I have been praying to you for 38 years. More than half my adult life. I have been to the national shrine several times, and I have told many others about you. I pray to you daily and carry a St. Jude medal with me. I am so grateful to you for your prayers and your help. You are truly my special and powerful patron. I ask you to intercede with the Lord again. Please pray that the problems I’m having at work are resolved in a positive way. And please continue to pray that my mom’s health improves. Thank you so much St. Jude. I can’t imagine facing my difficulties without your intercession.
