st jude helped me through cancer and i lit a candle at his local shrine. I still owe him a novena. maybe this winter.

my rosary has a relic of blessed seelos, but he does not count the beads for me.

note to self - relics

the relic is like encased in wax or plastic , and sometimes seems like a weird medieval superstition

my other relic is paper, St Padre Pio. is this maybe a 2nd class relic?
