Known as the saint of impossible causes, St. Jude was one of the twelve men handpicked by Jesus early on in his ministry. Also known as Thaddeus, Jude was the brother of James the Less. His only recorded words were when he asked Jesus a question during the Last Supper: "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus responded, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him." (Jn 14:22-23) Jude is usually portrayed wearing a teal green robe with a gold medallion around his neck representing Jesus' face. A flame is usually painted above his head to make known his presence in the upper room at Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended upon Mary and the Apostles in the appearance of tongues of fire.
In our St. Jude rosary, we use teal green faceted czech glass with yellow faceted czech glass for the Our Father beads. It has a beautiful St. Jude center and a Trinity Crucifix to recall the words that Jesus spoke to him about the indwelling of the Trinity in his followers' souls.
