We in India have a small town called Jhansi where there is a church dedicated to St. Judes. I believe they have his little finger there too. We had gone visiting this place and decided to visit the church and pay our respects to him. My son was then 5 years old and came with us. When we went there, we were told that the church has closed down for the afternoon and would only open in the evening, and unfortunately we were catching the evening train back, so we were pretty disappointed. My son sat down on the floor and wailed, tell Him to open the door. He refused to budge and no amount of persuasion helped. Then to our surprise, a man comes down and tells my son, go, the chruch is open. Cry no more. We went and to our astonishment, the chruch was open and we were the only people inside. We paid our respects to Him . This little miracle, I can never forget. He listens to the innocent, that I have leant. Have you ever had any such miracles in life. Do tell.

Hi bhanu, I can only say it is a miracle for the church authorities were adamant in not opening the church even though we pleaded so much. God and His disciples listen real fast to small children for they are the epitome of innocence, and who would love children more than God and give in to their demands ? Its just that we too benefited by my son's insistence, and St. Judes had to come open the church for us. Thanks.

Wow! thank you for sharing this incident in your life. I always feel great and happy whenever i hear stories about the miracles of God, and of course it includes the works of his diciples. I guess God just works in mysterious ways as they always say... it could also be that God felt your need, and also felt your sincerity, hence your wish to enter the church was granted. God Bless!!

Belive me, I was equally stunned when this incident happened. Actually I feel it is the insistence of a small child that had St. Judes open up the church for us. God and His disciples do listen to children's pleas real fast for they are the innocent who feel no evil for others. Yes, God works in mysterious ways and I am blessed with this miraacle. Thank you and God Bless you too.
