Prayer to St. Jude
Most holy Apostle
St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor
who delivered the beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused
you to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors and invokes you
universally as the patron of hopeless cases, of things despaired of. Pray
for me who am so miserable; make use, I implore you, of this particular
privilege accorded to you, to bring visible and speedy help, where help is
almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may
receive the consolations and succor of Heaven in all my necessities,
tribulations and sufferings, particularly (here make your request), and
that I may bless God with you
and all the elect forever.
I promise you, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor,
and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron and
to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.
Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an
instrument of Your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon,
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not
so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
