Almost nothing is known about Jude's life. Early in the ministry of Christ Jesus, Jude may have been among those saying: "He has gone out of his mind." (Mark 3:21) In any event, Jude and his other brothers did not then exercise faith in Christ Jesus. (John 7:5)
However, after his resurrection, Jesus appeared to his half brother James. (1 Corinthians 15:7) Doubtless this had much to do with convincing not only James but also Jude and his other brothers that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. Therefore, even before Pentecost of 33 C.E. they were persisting in prayer with the 11 faithful apostles and others in an upper room at Jerusalem. It appears that they were also among the some 120 persons assembled on the occasion that Matthias was chosen by lot to replace the unfaithful Judas Iscariot. (Acts 1:14-26) If this is the case, it would indicate that they received the holy spirit on the day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:1-4)
Jude
Jude, one of the brethren of the Lord and probably author of the Epistle of Jude. He was the brother of James. Like all of the disciples of the Lord he helped to spread the word that the Christ had indeed come as was promised.
St. Jude's Research Hospital is named after St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of lost causes. The founder, entertainer Danny Thomas, prayed to St. Jude for help in starting a children's hospital, and when his prayers were answered, he dedicated the hospital to the saint as a way of giving thanks.
