Novena To
St. Jude

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.
Intercede with God for me that He bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly -
(make your request here)

Amen

May the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, and loved in all the tabernacles until the end of time. Amen.

St. Jude pray for us and hear our prayers. Amen.

Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Dear Apostle and Martyr for Christ, you left us an Epistle in the New Testament. With good reason many invoke you when illness is at a desperate stage. We now recommend to your kindness
{name of patient}
who is in a critical condition. May the cure of this patient increase his/her faith and love for the Lord of Life, for the glory of our merciful God. Amen.

Offer prayers for yourself or for someone else who is in a desperate situation. A novena is a prayer said for nine days.

I’m not Catholic but I’m thinking we need to do this for the country. We seem to be in the most desperate of situations.

Thanks. Prayers needed for a young man, Matthew, suffering very serious complications from pneumonia. St. Jude pray for him and his family!

Saying Hail Marys for all. Say some for me, I’m going through a tough time. But the Lord is my Shepherd...

Good idea! BTW, this isn’t a Catholic Caucus thread so you are free to post.

I just think a lot of people are experiencing very difficult times.

Pray to the Lord in Jesus name.

Pray to Jesus for help.
