St. Jude Thaddeus
Jude Thaddeus was one of the Twelve Apostles, a kinsman of the Lord who preached the Gospel after Pentecost and gave his life for the faith around the year 65. His letter urges Christians to keep themselves in the love of God, and the faithful widely invoke him in desperate situations and seemingly impossible causes, trusting in God's mercy.
