Saint
Joseph
St. Jude Novena for Physical Healing.
St. Jude, you witnessed the healing power of our Lord Jesus. You saw his compassion for the sick and dying. You yourself touched the sick, shared the sorrows of the mournful, and encouraged the despairing. You received this authority and healing power to work wonders, to cure the incurable to make people whole. We ask you to intercede with our brother, Jesus, to send his saving grace to heal the sickness and suffering of___________, to uplift his/her despondent spirits and to instill hope in his/her hearts. Amen.
"St.
Jude, through prayer you praised God for the wonderful works of
Jesus. You asked God for the strength to meet the challenges of your
apostolate. You put your trust in God's mercy, believing firmly that
God loved you and understood your joys and sorrows, your hopes and
fears, and your triumphs and failures. You understood that nothing is
impossible for God. I ask you to pray for me now before the Most High
so that I too might be filled with God's saving power, understand
God's will for me and faithfully place myself in God's loving
hands."
"St. Jude, you remained faithful to our
Lord, even unto death. You gave your life so that others might live.
You endured physical pain and emotional abandonment. But you gladly
joined your sufferings to those of our Savior, Jesus, and thus shared
in the redemption of the world. I ask you now to intercede with our
brother, Jesus Christ on my behalf, so that I too can find strength
in the face of my suffering. Help me to trust in God and put my
life in his hands.
