Brothers, love is a teacher, but a hard one to obtain: learning to love is hard and we pay dearly for it. It takes hard work and a long apprenticeship, for it is not just for a moment that we must learn to love, but forever.
(Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov)

Patron of the Hopeless
Dear readers, tomorrow is the feast day of Saint Jude Thaddeus, near kinsman of Christ and patron of hopeless cases. If you think of it, would you please pray for my family regarding a special intention of ours which we have put in his hands? I hope later to be able to write more about it.
Of course.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rodak. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll pray! Please pray for my husband to get a job!
ReplyDeleteI will, Elena. St. Jude is particularly good for that.
ReplyDeleteWith pleasure, Pentimento, my privilege.
ReplyDeleteYou have my prayers, and so does Elena.
ReplyDeleteA day late, but the prayer is no less fervent.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much, and God bless you.
