 THE PRAYER OF THE CORRESPONDING DAY IS
SAID AND THE PETITION IS MADE

DAY ONE
Omnipotent and everlasting God, who in the depths of your
inexhaustible wisdom deigned to arrange that St. Jude
Thaddeus should bear such mysterious and meaningful names
as suited him by the sincere confession he made of your
divinity, by the praises he paid to you in the August Ministry
of the three persons in one essence and nature, and by the
ardent charity with which he cared for men; grant me by his
mighty power, that, uniting my weak faith to the great fervor
of our Holy Apostle, I may confess with him wholeheartedly
and with all my soul your holy name, believe in the august and
sacred mysteries of the Redemption which the Church
proposes to me, and bless and rejoice in your mercy.

corazón, y del que anunciaste por la boca de tus profetas que
habíGrant, through your powerful intercession, that by
restraining my flesh, turning away from the world and fleeing
from the devil with prayer and humanity, I may be just to my
neighbor, indulgent to those who wrong me, and long-

with you in glory.

THIRD DAY
O God of infinite goodness and mercy, who deigned to favor
St. Jude Thaddeus, giving him Joseph, Simeon and James as
brothers, whose names and virtues the Church respects and
venerates, and favored him with the happiness that while your
son St. James was hanging and nailed to the Cross, full of
bitterness and opprobrium and denied by men, those whom
he was going to redeem by his death, they were the mother
and sister of our Holy Apostle, two of whom were the mother
and sister of St. Jude.and nailed to the Cross, full of bitterness
and opprobrium and denied by men, those whom he was
going to redeem by his death were the mother and sister of our
Holy Apostle, two of the three devout and compassionate
Marys who followed him and accompanied him.and
accompanied him fervently on Mount Calvary, thus
manifesting the Divine predilection that you had for him;
grant me through their powerful intercession that my relations
may be persons of known piety, and that they may encourage
me by their example on the path of virtue and pilgrimage in
this life, so that, leaving behind me the path of virtue and
pilgrimage in this life, I may be able to live in the same way
that I have lived in this life, and that I may be able to live in
the same way with them.May I leave the path of vices and
direct my steps to You, and may I, ashamed and contrite, love
You, follow You and accompany You on the Cross with that
love and firmness with which Your chosen ones did it.

precursor de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y que anunciaron las
profecías, con Santiago que confesó la Misiówith St. John the
Evangelist who merited from his Master to recommend you as
son to the Queen of Heaven, and with Jesus Himself who by
His death erased sin and opened to men the doors of bliss
which were closed to them because of Adam's guilt, grant me
by His powerful power to grant you, through His Son Jesus
Christ, that you may be the Son of the Savior.Grant me,
through his powerful intercession, to reform my habits in such
a way that I may merit your divine grace, so that the purity
with which I receive you in the Holy Eucharist may be such
that, becoming one flesh with you, I may live in you and
accompany you eternally.

DAY FIVE
O God immense and incomparable in your judgments, who
deigned to set ways unknown to men, to set in the Apostle St.
Jude Thaddeus, allowing the Only Begotten of the Father, the
Redeemer of the world to descend from the immense height of
his glory, and giving his sublime example of goodness, to delay
on the eve of his passion to the extreme of washing the feet of
our Holy Apostle, and that he might receive the salutary
waters of baptism so that, being reborn by them in the Holy
Spirit, he might have part with Jesus Christ and enter the
kingdom of heaven.Grant, through his powerful intercession,
that, recognizing my wanderings, I may humble myself and
abase myself with compunction in your presence, and that by
ways unknown to me I may come to you, remain in you, and
obtain your grace forever.

deigned to enter into friendly conversation with St. Jude

dispose our souls, and that this was obtained by keeping the
express and clear word of Thy commandments.and that this
was obtained by keeping the express and clear word of Thy
commandments; grant me, through his powerful intercession,
that by detaching myself from the idle and worldly
companionships of my souls, I may be able to be free from
theand worldly companionships which precipitate me in your
anger, that I may deal with you in prayer, and in this way

affectionate communications, that loving my neighbor as a
creature born of your love, my soul may be prepared to receive
you as a creature born of your love.that, loving my neighbor as
a creature from thy hands, faithfully keeping thy holy law,
honoring and adoring thy ineffable being and infinite
perfections, I may come to me, and may the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit dwell in me.

SEVENTH DAY
O God of consolation and infinite charity, who, because of the
great love and confidence that you had in St. Jude Thaddeus,
deigned to elevate him to the apostolate and allowed him to be
present at a great part of the Savior's actions so that, as an
eyewitness to them, he might confirm them and preach them
to the world by his word and example; as an eyewitness of
them, to confirm them, to preach them to the world by his
word and example; that for your better glory you arranged
that our Holy Apostle should have no other recommendation
for planting the faith than his natural timidity, his profound
ignorance in the sciences of men, and an extreme poverty and
an obscure and humble condition in the estimation of men,

planting the faith than his natural timidity, his profound
ignorance in the sciences of men, and an extreme poverty and
humble condition in the estimation of men.I have no other
recommendation for planting the faith than his natural
shyness, his profound ignorance in the sciences of men, and
his extreme poverty and obscure and humble condition in the
estimation of the world, no less than an education formed
according to the laws of Moses; grant me by your powerful
intercession that, coming out of the shameful state of the
faults to which my ancient customs have subjected me, I may
be made docile to your calls, that my soul may be made worthy
of your callings.May my words and examples be such that I
may be persuaded by them of the divinity of the religion you
have revealed, and always keeping your goodness in view, may
I keep your holy commandments, so that by this means I may
have the happiness of belonging to the number of the elect.

DAY EIGHTEENTH
O God of infinite wisdom, who deigned to permit St. Jude
Thaddeus to write an epistle addressed to warn thy faithful of
the danger in which their souls were placed, following the fatal
errors which were beginning to spread in thy church,
reminding them in it that there is no power but thine, and that
it is in thy name that they perform the wonders which thy
apostles worked in proof of the doctrine which they
preached.In it you reminded them that there is no power but
yours, and that it is in your name that they perform the
wonders that your apostles worked in proof of the doctrine
they preached; that you ordered me to repeat to the believers
that whoever does not know you will be buried, confounded
and tormented, and that he who does not know you will be
buried, confounded and tormented.I beseech thee by thy
mighty intercession to enlighten my understanding, and not to
give me a new understanding of thy mission, that I may not be
deceived, but that I may be saved, and that I may be saved
from the evil which thou hast destined for the just, and that I
may be saved from the evil which thou hast destined for the
just.I beg you through your powerful intercession to enlighten
my understanding and not to let me fall into the abyss in
which those who do not know you find themselves; make me
edify by charity, to cry out and pray in the Holy Spirit, to go
forward in your love and to implore your mercy from my
heart.
 DAY NINE

Thaddeus that after having contributed to establish your cult,
after having traveled through innumerable fields and cities
preaching the Gospel, and after having converted to the holy
religion of Jesus Christ, your son, a multitude of souls who lay
in the darkness of gentility, you gave him as a reward for his
labors and efforts, the glorious crown of martyrdom, so that
he might be martyred.Jesus Christ, your son, a multitude of
souls who were lying in the darkness of gentility, you gave him
as a reward for your labors and sleeplessness the glorious
crown of martyrdom, so that with it he might not only confirm
his preaching but also bear witness to your divinity.and bear
witness to your divinity, but that he might obtain in reward
the beatitude he enjoys in the triumphant choir of the
apostles; grant me, through his powerful intercession, that by
his martyrdom he may come forth from the darkest darkness
of the earth and be a witness to your divinity.Grant, through
his powerful intercession, that coming out of the darkness of
sin, I may walk steadfastly in the paths of your law, that I may
endure adversity for your love, so that at the end of life's
arduous race, free from remorse, I may die a peaceful death
