The National Shrine of St. JudeUpdated about 9 months ago
National Shrine of St. Jude “But I tell you who hear me, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, & pray for those who mistreat you.” ~ (Luke 6:27-38) To be a Christian is to be a peacemaker. The scriptures do not tell us to accept injustice passively. They simply tell us not to become unjust ourselves as we pursue good.
National Shrine of St. Jude Help me to discover God's blessings through your company, St. Jude, so that my journey of faith will be strengthened by the power of our unified prayers and the mercy of our loving God. We invite you to say a prayer to St. Jude.

National Shrine of St. Jude “Jesus said to Simon, ‘Push the boat out further to the deep water & let down your nets.’ ‘Master’, Simon answered, ‘we worked hard all night long & caught nothing. But if you say so, I will let down the nets.’” ~ (Luke 5:1-11) There are moments when it seems as if the only sensible thing to do is quit.
