### 5/5 — Saint Jude, brother of Jesus Christ

*2023-06-16*

Other than knowledge I possess that Saint Jude was literally the brother of Jesus and was given the responsibility to take care of the family finances when Jesus departed on his mission throughout Jude’s and beyond, I find this prayer app to be an essential part of my spiritual healing and growth. I am grateful to its author. I am impoverished financially but wealthier in spirit because of it.
