Reflect
Remain with the Word
A desperate situation can narrow our vision until all we see is the obstacle. Saint Jude points beyond the obstacle to Christ. Hope begins by naming the truth and then remembering who God is.
Let us pray
God of the impossible, I bring You what I cannot repair or carry alone. Through the intercession of Saint Jude, protect me from despair and open my heart to the help, wisdom, and grace You desire to give.
Saint Jude, apostle of hope in difficult causes, intercede for us.
