October 28 is St. Jude Thaddeus Day, the saint people turn to when something seems impossible. Many people take advantage of that day to give a medal: to someone going through a difficult time, to someone who has overcome it, or simply to someone they love very much. And the same question always arises: what should I write in the card?

St. Jude Thaddeus, the saint of difficult causes
We've put together simple phrases for every situation that you can copy as they are or adapt in your own way.
For someone going through a difficult time
- “St. Jude is the saint of difficult causes. May he accompany you in this one, just as I do.”
- “So you can keep it close and remember that you are not alone.”
- “When you don't know what else to do, look at it. And call me.”
- “There are battles that cannot be won alone. Here are two allies: St. Jude and me.”
To give thanks
- “It seemed impossible, and here we are. Thank you, St. Jude.”
- “So we never forget everything we have been through together, or how we made it through.”
- “A medal to give thanks, because we should.”
For a son, daughter, or godchild
- “May St. Jude and Our Lady of Guadalupe always watch over you, especially when I am not close by.”
- “For your new chapter: carry it with you and remember home.”
- “So you always know who to turn to.”
For a friend or partner
- “Everything is easier with you, even the difficult things.”
- “I'm giving you two devotions in one: St. Jude on the front and Our Lady of Guadalupe on the back. Like you and me, always together.”
- “Happy October 28. May you never lack faith, or your medal.”
If it's for you
That works too. Many people buy their St. Jude medal as a promise or a reminder of something they overcame. No card is needed: simply carrying it is enough.
Which medal should I choose?
Our St. Jude Thaddeus medals are double-sided: St. Jude on the front and Our Lady of Guadalupe on the back. They are handmade in Spain, plated in 18K gold, and each one features different natural stones or pearls:
- For everyday wear and for any age: the natural pearl one.
- For him: the tiger's eye one, in toasted tones.
- For those who want color: the ruby and sapphire one.
- For an elegant blue: the lapis lazuli one.
They all come with their chain, gift-wrapped and delivered within 24–72 hours.
