Today I am making a novena to St Jude, for the first time, and to Our Mother of Perpetual Help.

I pray that my faith is strenghthened and that I can feel positive again so that I can welcome in the positive changes I want so badly in my life.
I have been working and striving hard to progress my career and to get more employment opportunities but all I have seemed to face is closed doors. I see others get what I have prayed for and I struggle to not be jealous and struggle to not let it crush my spirit. I feel so frightened and despairing sometimes and I want to use today to focus on putting all my trust and happiness with God.

I also pray for my sister. Her baby’s heartbeat stopped and she had to go into hospital last week for an operation. I pray for the aching in her heart over the loss of her baby’s life.

St Jude intercede for me.
Mother of Perpetual help pray for me.

Amen.

If anyone has prayer or novena recommendations I would be so grateful. I know that you are meant to pledge thanksgiving to St Jude so I am promising to publish my message of thanksgiving into the local newspaper.
God bless, Susan
 
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be
Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done,
on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

O my God, I firmly believe that You are
one God in three divine Persons, Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that Your
divine Son became man, died for our sins,
and that He will come to judge the living
and the dead. I believe these and all the
truths which the holy Catholic Church
teaches, because You have revealed them,
Who can neither deceive nor be deceived.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my mother;
to thee do I come, before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen
 
Remembering you, your sister, and the soul of her child in my daily prayers. God bless.
 
Praying for you and your sister. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with peace.

Lord, I believe:
I wish to believe in Thee.
Lord, let my faith be full and unreserved,
and let it penetrate my thought,
my way of judging Divine things and human things.
Lord, let my faith be joyful
and give peace and gladness to my spirit,
and dispose it for prayer with God
and conversation with men,
so that the inner bliss of its fortunate possession
may shine forth in sacred and secular conversation.
Lord, let my faith be humble and not presume
to be based on the experience of my thought and of my feeling;
but let it surrender to the testimony of the Holy Spirit,
and not have any better guarantee than in docility to Tradition
and to the authority of the magisterium of the Holy Church.

Amen.

St. Jude, pray for us.
 
Lord God, I pray for SusanRose. Please ease her suffering and her pain. Take away her despair. Give her teh graces she needs so that she may remain hopeful and trusting in Your loving mercy.

I likewise lift up to You her sister who recently lost a child. Ease her suffering and pain during this time of loss and grief. Surround her with family, loved ones and friends who can be a constant source of support and strength for her. AMEN.
 
Praying for you and your sister and for the soul of her baby.
 
I will gladly join you.

***Oh glorious apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered thy beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused thee to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors and invokes thee universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who am so miserable; make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded thee of bringing 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, and help with the forgiveness of sins, that I may bless God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise thee, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor thee as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to thee. Amen:highprayer:
Love, Sheila and :blessyou:
