Pope Benedict XVI

I respectfully extend a most warm welcome to Your Holiness for your frequent visits, of over many years, to this web site devoted to the Holy Apostle, Saint Jude Thaddeus!

A Most Humble and Grateful Welcome, Your Holiness!  I hope that your visits to these web pages have been helpful to you, both personally, and especially in regard to your Apostolic Office, as, for example, your quoting from my Sunday Sermons on the Spiritual Life, which I posted weekly on the Sunday Sermon web pages which were actual Sermons I had preached on the Spiritual Life to the Parishioners who attended my Sunday Masses over the years. 

I remember reading the several paragraphs you usually directly quoted from my various Sunday Sermons in your Wednesday talks to the Pilgrims to the Vatican, when you spoke to them after Praying the Angelus. 

I also remember there was a delay of about 3 weeks between the time I posted each new Spiritual Sunday Sermon on its respective web page on this Shrine of Saint Jude web site and your talk during your Wednesday Papal Audience for the Pilgrims to the Vatican. 

Of course, you used your own personal beginning and ending, but you quoted usually between two to four paragraphs, depending on their length, from my Sermons. I am happy you found my Sermons to be helpful for you. 

Thank you so very much for visiting this Shrine of Saint Jude web site.  Please continue to visit us at your good pleasure.  I apologize for failing to thank you sooner for your many visits!  Mea Culpa!  Mea Culpa!

God Bless You.   Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.

I was desperate, because my situation was desperate. What is this "desperate"? I was down to only one can of food and a coupon for a free sandwich. You know me and you know I do not lie and I do not exaggerate.

You had made some Saint Jude Novenas for me some time ago, and then just very recently. In all cases, Saint Jude really earned his accolade as the patron saint of the impossible. Earlier today, I finally got the phone call I had waited to get for several weeks! Now everything has turned around with that money in my bank account that I had been told I could not get.

So tonight I get to not only get groceries, but next week I can actually pay off, down to zero balance, all my credit cards, plus take care of other pressing issues like I can forget the utilities warning of shutting off my electric, gas, phone next week.

Now I can get back on my feet and now my business will be able to prosper once more as it did two years ago when things were really booming for me. I am on the fast track to recovery!

I dare not forget Saint Jude, so enclosed is my stipend of thanksgiving for my requested novenas of thanks to Saint Jude.  Thank you God, Thank you Saint Jude, and Thank you, Father Michael for making the novenas for me. They worked for me, like they did in the past. Hope this gives others the confidence they need in Saint Jude and your really good work.

W.W.

P.S. I have now kept my promise of several weeks ago to Saint Jude to send you this Testimonial after my Novena intention was granted. Father, please be sure to publicly publish this right away because Saint Jude worked very, very hard for me with God in my really very desperate circumstances. Also, please publish this so I can get credit for it from God and Saint Jude. Saint Jude is really awesome! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks again!
