Today we begin the Novena to Saint Jude for Thomas Peters and his wife, Natalie. Thomas was left with a devastating spinal cord injury a few years back, just after he was married. His wife has been everything a husband could ask for. We pray this novena for a wonderful couple, from a wonderful family of Catholics who have done much for the Church.
