Aunt Pat gave me a prayer card of St. Jude when I was 13. It had a prayer on the back of it asking St. Jude for intercession. I had found out I had scoliosis ("s" curve in my spine) and was wearing a Milwaukee brace to help correct it. Dr said I would probably have to wear it 23 hours a day for about 4 years or so. She gave me the prayer card and told me to ask for healing for my back. I prayed the prayer and a few months later when I went for a check up, The Dr. told me I could start weaning off of wearing the brace. Instead if 23 hours a day, I only had to do 12. So I chose to only wear it in the late afternoon and throughout the night. I was so happy that I didn't have to wear it to school anymore. And I was able to stop wearing it 18 months earlier than expected. I was so thankful to St. Jude and for Aunt Pat introducing me to him. He became my favorite go to saint. He has helped me many times in my life. I named one of my son's after him. Thanks again, Aunt Pat. Hug my mom and dad for me. Praying for you and your family.
Love, Julie Gil Wedlock
