Why This Site Exists

I will tell my whole story here soon. For now, this much: I prayed the Novena to Saint Jude, more than once, and God answered.

The prayer ends with a promise, to be "ever mindful" of what God has done and to "gratefully encourage devotion" to Saint Jude. For a long time I did not keep that promise. This site is me keeping it.

A few things I want you to know about this place. It will never ask you for money. There are no ads, no donations and no selling of anyone's information. It is not run by a church or any organization; it is just one Catholic trying to share a prayer that has meant everything to him, as faithfully as I know how. Every story and every prayer request is read by a real person before it appears, and nothing here is invented. And you do not need to be Catholic to be welcome.

If you are hurting tonight, I am glad you found your way here. Saint Jude, pray for us.

Chris
