Why is a Novena to St. Jude so powerful?
Thanks Cath
Thanks Cath
That is the only thing I can think of too. The prayers of the righteous are particularly strong, and since Jude was so close to Jesus, it would stand to reason that his intercession on our behalf are particularly potent. Patron saint of hopeless causes, purity and those in poverty…St. Jude pray for us!!!St. Jude was a cousin of Jesus and an Apostle. He carried the Holy Image to others and so is closely associated with Our Lord in a most direct way. Perhaps that is why he is so powerful a saint. Read here for more information about him: St. Jude
I say the prayer to St. Jude every morning, and I just wanted to mention that the wording is actually “and of things almost despaired of…”the Church invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases and of things depaired of…"
My prayer card omits the “almost”. However, I do agree with you.I just wanted to mention that the wording is actually “and of things almost despaired of…”
