How to work with the Catholic Saint San Judas Tadeo

 

Before beginning to work with any Saint or Deity you must first know the background of the energy you are invoking. This is not intended to exhaustive, comprehensive, or to be your only source, however, it should be sufficient to get you acquainted and familiar with the energy. 

Who is San Judas?

San Judas Thaddeus is one of the 12 Apostles to serve with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They were close relatives, which is why they have similar facial features. Typical imagery of St. Jude often includes a flame above his head, which represents his presence at Pentecost, when he accepted the Holy Spirit alongside the other apostles.

What is Saint Jude known for and What does San Judas Tadeo do? 

For many years, he was confused with Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Our Lord and as a direct result of such confusion Judas Thaddeus was falsely despaired because of Judas Iscariot's great sin. When San Judas was finally petitioned for help he was beyond  eager to show his gratitude and came through for his petitioners in impossible ways. 

Which has made San Judas Tadeo known as the patron saint of impossible causes. He is also the ruler of the threshold (emotional, mental, volatile aspects) and as such can makes him an excellent deity to be called upon as a guide through difficulties. 

Why is St. Jude the saint of lost causes

The story goes that Saint Bridget of Sweden, the patroness of Europe, wrote that Jesus advised her to turn to Saint Jude Thaddeus for favors that seemed hard to fulfill. This is how he became the patron saint of impossible causes.

His popularity as a saint in Mexico rose during the 1980s. San Judas' notoriety is unrivaled only that of La Virgen de Guadalupe & the folk saint La Santa Muerte can compete with the love that the Mexican people have for San Juditas.

Is San Judas Tadeo a Narco Saint?

Over time the term "lost causes" became loosely interpreted by the people to mean society's rejects (personas pérdidas al camino de dios ) such as criminals, drug dealers, thieves, etc.

In 2008 the Archdiocese of Mexico City released a statement concerning the unorthodox practices of those seeking his assistance in ways that are against christian morals. Stating that the people copied his image from those depicted in Italy and changed his staff from his right side to his left side.

In Catholicism the left hand is considered to be symbolic of evil. Within Western esotericism, the left-hand path and the right-hand path stand as contrasting methodologies in the realm of magic. In certain interpretations, the left-hand path aligns with malevolent black magic, while the right-hand path aligns with benevolent white magic.  

Therefore, some believe that when St. Jude is represented with the staff in his left hand, he is open to prayers and petitions (mischievous) that he would never consider with the staff at his right because it is not within the morals of the Catholic church. 

San Judas carries a staff or sometimes an axe, symbolizing his martyrdom when his head was tragically severed. However, many interpret his staff as a sign of his readiness to take decisive action for his faithful followers. Within the diverse devotees of Mexico and in the United States, encompassing delinquents, addicts, thieves, and an array of individuals on the fringe of society, San Judas has been embraced and believed to extend his protection to even those deemed most unworthy. It's a belief that he shields even the most marginalized thieves, ensuring them a shielded path through adversity or the grasp of the law. 

Saint Jude can be effectively petitioned for help with hopeless cases, to help someone get off drugs, to help criminals stay out of jail and, help someone get out of jail among many others. 

The archdiocese commemorates the feast day of Saint Jude while emphatically asserting that Judas Thaddaeus is not a patron of delinquency or drug trafficking, and bears no association with Santa Muerte in any manner. 

Unveiling the Hidden Realities of San Judas Tadeo...  

While the church has not officially confirmed this, there is a belief that they embrace the veneration of San Judas as a means to engage younger generations and counter the veneration of La Santa. The archdiocese not only celebrates the saint's day but also emphasizes that Judas Thaddaeus is not a patron associated with delinquency, drug trafficking, or any connection to Santa Muerte.

According to a researcher at UNAM, it's believed that the Church employs this form of veneration as a way to counter the reverence given to Santa Muerte.

San Judas Tadeo's exceptional ability to fulfill petitions of great significance and his gentle nature make seeking his guidance a preferred choice over that of La Santa Muerte. San Judas willingly extends his help to those who might be marginalized by society and to those whose actions might challenge traditional church morals.

Furthermore, he possesses the ability to grant seemingly impossible requests, a realm for which Santa Muerte is also invoked. San Judas embodies a much more compassionate deity compared to La Santa, who can exhibit a more intense and vengeful disposition when provoked (given her embodiment of death itself). She does not take kindly to empty promises and unfulfilled commitments. 

Why is San Judas the Saint of Money Problems? 

The profound fervor for this saint in Mexico and among Mexican-American's remains an enigma, yet some attribute it to his remarkable appearance. Adorned with a golden medallion gracing his neck, depicting the face of Christ, many of his devotees interpret it as a symbol that of a gold coin, turning to him as the patron saint to seek solace in matters of monetary and financial hardship.
