For Mercy and Cynthia, St. Jude is more than a patron of lost causes; he is a friend who walks with them through life’s uncertainties, a quiet witness to faith born out of struggle.
The Epistle of Jude, tucked near the end of our New Testament, feels urgent and tender at once. “Contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints,” he writes (Jude 1:3).
