Quotes from the Saints
Humility frees and disposes us to receive God's blessings - charity and all the other virtues.
St. Thomas Aquinas
Today's reflection
If I am about having "my Way" all the time I will never have deep, satisfying relationships. With God I must always say, "your way." With friends and people I am related to it is also important to frequently say, "OK, your way." The world won't collapse.
Richard, O.P.

Why do people pray to saints?
We believe that the saints are our senior sisters and brothers who faced the
same challenges we do and now stand before the Throne of God. We ask the
saints to pray with and for us - to join with us in praying for
God's help.
St. Jude, patron saint
of the impossible
St. Jude Thaddeus was one of the twelve Apostles chosen by Jesus Christ. Because
he has the same name as the traitor, people were slow to ask his help. He didn't
mind being left in the shadows - and now is the special patron of all
who feel left in the shadows. At our Shrine we ask him to help all in special
need.

Easter Blessings to You and Your Family!
May the Risen Lord fill you with peace as he did St. Jude and the other apostles when it was discovered that He had conquered death and despair! From the Dominican Friars and the Staff of the Dominican Shrine of St. Jude, may you have a most blessed Easter!

Mother's Day Remembrance
Our May Novena is dedicated to our mothers, living and deceased. We would be happy to remember your mothers here at the Shrine. Just send us the names and intentions you have, and we will pray for them. Each intention will be prayed over by a Dominican Friar before being placed at the Shrine to be included in our Masses there.

May 2008 Chronicle
Our Mother's Day Novena is a time for us to reflect on the hope the Blessed Virgin had as she prepared to be a mother. Richard, O.P. reflects on how a Christian responds to departures in life. The Dominican Connection thanks those Dominicans who serve servicemen and women in their need.
