Why must I publish my message?The St. Jude novena is unique in that traditionally when you pray to St. Jude you are told you must "promise to publish your request or thanks and encourage devotion to St. Jude". What does this mean? By publishing your message, you demonstrate your faith and commitment to letting God through St. Jude help bring change to your life. This faith is an important step in showing our openness to receiving God's response to our prayers. Without such conviction, all of our prayers are doomed to fail.
Why should I publish my message on the St. Jude Novena Site?
In short, these are the people you should be publishing for and who need your encouragement to turn to St. Jude!
In return for publicizing your message, we ask for a modest payment of $10.00. Your contribution will help expand the ministry efforts of this website as the best-known resource for promoting the good news of praying to St. Jude across the internet, and to increase the visibility of the testimonials people have publicized in this site.So if I don't pay to publish, my prayer won't be answered?
Whether your prayers are answered does not depend on paying to publish. It's up to you to be full of faith and truly open to receiving God's message. However, if you are serious about reaching the largest number of people with your testimony, and truly encouraging devotion to St. Jude, we believe publishing on this website is a great way to do it!
I once got an invite to join Mensa.
When I saw how much the yearly DUES were going to be; I figgered, “I’m smarter than THAT!!”
A man walked up to a Franciscan and Jesuit and asked, “How many novenas must you say to get a Mercedes Benz?”
The Franciscan asked, “What’s a Mercedes Benz?”
The Jesuit asked, “What’s a novena?”
