Walking with St. Jude

Walking with St. Jude

By Arlene Ascenzo, Torrington

I was struggling with a lot of questions and perplexities in my life. I tend to pray a lot to God, Jesus, and to various saints. I also have special prayers for different needs.

I was talking to my female sibling one day, and she said, "Pray to St. Jude." So I took her advice.

I have a collection of religious materials and happened to find a statue of St. Jude and some prayer cards among them. I looked into some religious organizations for some free pamphlets. My church also sent me some prayer cards and a statue of St. Jude that Father had in the rectory.

I like to be surrounded by religious articles. One nun on television said they help ward off the evil spirits.

Well, I've been believing in and praying to St. Jude (in case you don't, know He helps those in great need) and I feel much better about myself and my future. I will continue my "walk" with St. Jude, for He gives me strength, fortitude and deliverance.
