Question: “I am confused on an issue. I remember reading that the actor Danny Thomas prayed to St. Jude making a promise that if he found his niche in life he would build a shrine in honor of St. Jude, hence the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.My question is that as a result of his promise, Danny Thomas became famous and wealthy. Yet countless other Catholics are just as devout as Danny Thomas and are struggling in life to keep a job or just find work to support themselves. Are some people just born as say part of the elect that they live a privileged life? Meaning they are favored by God from birth?”
