An interesting legend is about<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0St. Jude, the well-known patron saint of those in need, whose feast day we celebrate today.\u00a0In ancient Turkey, there lived a king suffering from a severe illness. He heard about Jesus and wrote him a letter asking him for healing.\u00a0Along with the letter, he also sent an artist who was to draw the face of Jesus.\u00a0Since Jesus could not go to the king, he sent Judas with the artist’s painting.\u00a0Thanks to the portrait and Judah’s prayers, the king was healed.\u00a0That is why St. Jude is still depicted with the image of Christ’s face in his hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

This<\/span><\/strong> legend says something about Judas but also other saints. They didn’t heal anyone themselves. In the legend, the key to the king’s recovery was the image of Jesus.\u00a0All the healing power that the saints had was from the Lord.\u00a0“He bore our sicknesses and was burdened with our pains… with his stripes we are healed” (Is 53, 4-5).\u00a0Jesus is our healer, our comforter, our Savior.<\/span><\/p>\n

This<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0legend illustrates yet another important fact: Jesus needs saints.\u00a0Judas was an ordinary man, a sinner whom Jesus redeemed.\u00a0But God commissioned him to bring healing and hope to thousands – and he continues to do so today, many centuries after his death.\u00a0Jude shows us that we carry in our hearts the treasure of the Holy Spirit, which gives us the power to change the world in the image of God.\u00a0He shows us that we can become saints just like him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have<\/span><\/strong> you ever looked in the mirror so that you did not see yourself in it but in the image of God? Like Judas, you, too, bear the face of Christ. His divine life flows in you.\u00a0Even if you don’t perform miracles, He lives in you.\u00a0Therefore, give him thanks for this grace. Praise him for creating us “capable of sharing in the light of the saints” (Col 1:12).\u00a0Look for the opportunities it gives you to share this light with the people around you.<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
