Saint
Joseph
Novena Prayer to St. Jude
Glorious Saint Jude Thaddeus you were privileged
to be the cousin of our Lord Jesus Christ and to be called
by him
to be one by the twelve apostles. By the glory which is now yours in
heaven as the reward for your
apostolic labours and your martyrdom
obtain for me from the giver of ever good and perfect gift all the
graces
of which I stand in need (Mention your request)
May I always treasure in my heart the divinely
inspired teachings that you have given us in your
epistle to build
my edifice of holiness upon our faith of praying for the grace of the
Holy Spirit to keep
myself in the love of God trusting in
the mercy of Jesus Christ unto eternal life to strive by all means
to
help those who go astray may. I always praise the glory and majesty
the dominion and power of him who is
able to keep me free from sin
and to present me with great joy at the coming of our Divine Savior
the lord
Jesus Christ.
Amen
Consecration
to St. Jude
St Jude Apostle of Christ and glorious martyr I
desire to honour you as my patron and protector. To you I
entrust
my soul and my body all my spiritual and temporal interests as well
as those of my family. To
you I consecrate my mind so that in all
things it may be enlightened by faith; my heart so that you may
keep
it pure and fill it with faith love of God and neighbour; my
will so that like yours it may always be one with
the will of God.
I beg you to help me overcome all temptations and to avoid all
occasions of sin.
Obtain for me the grace of never offending God
of fulfilling faithfully all the duties of my state in
life and of
practicing all those virtues that are needed for my salvation. Pray
for me my holy patron
and helper so that being inspired by your
example and assisted by your prayers. I may live a holy life die
a
happy death and attain to the glory of heaven there to love and thank
God forever
Amen
