St. Jude Thaddeus

My saint is St. Jude Thaddeus, patron of lost causes. I choose this saint because when I lose something I pray to him and then I always find it. He is my favorite saint because he is the only one that wore Jesus on their body.

St. Jude Thaddeus is one of the twelve apostles, and his feast day is October 28. He is Patron of Desperate causes. He is the brother of St. James the Less, and a relative of Our Savior. Jude asked Jesus at the Last Supper "Why he would not manifest himself to the whole world after his Resurrection." He was said to have suffered martyrdom in Armenia, and was buried in St. Peters Basilica. He is the author of an epistle to the Churches of the East. He is usually described as to wear a necklace with the image of Christ. He is also said to have the "tongue of fire" on his forehead to symbolize the Day of Pentecost. He is sometimes identified with Jude "The brother of Jesus " or the one who betrayed. His main color is green.

St. Jude Thaddeus demonstrated holy, apostolic, and catholic marks of the church. He is holy because he did many miracles that helped people find thing that had sentimental value. He is apostolic because he is one of the twelve apostles that shared teaching with Jesus. He is catholic because he believes in one God, our father almighty, and worshiped Jesus.

We can learn from this saint that if you lose something you can still find it as long as you are positive. As long as we pray we will find anything especially if we have sentimental value.
