*ST.

JUDE THADDEUS NOVENA*

O Lord, Jesus Christ, who when on earth, offered up prayers and supplications to Your Father.
"With a strong cry and tears" receive the offering of this novena during which we desire to join our
prayers with yours (pray silently and mention your petition). We make this offering through Mary
Your Mother, St. Jude Thaddeus, your cousin, for he is our helper in difficult cases, for their sake,
accept and grant our prayer. Amen

1. O Glorious Apostle St. Jude Thaddeus, patron Saint of hopeless cases who, when called by
Jesus Christ, left everything and followed Him, obtain for us the grace to detach ourselves from all
worldly attachments to serve God and to love our neighbour as we love ourselves.
*our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...*

2. O faithful Apostle St. Jude Thaddeus, beloved cousin of our Saviour we admire the courage
with which you spread the Gospel with great labours and sacrifices. Assist us so that we will
practice daily by word and deed our faith. Amen
*our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...*

3. O zealous Apostle, St. Jude who crowned your earthly life by martyrdom to give a true
testimony of your faith, pray for us that we imitate you in your great endurance, strengthen our
weakness in time of temptation and help us to persevere in our faith so that with you one day we
may come to glorify God forever. Amen
*our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be...*

*V* pray for us o Blessed St. Jude

*R* That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.

*Let us pray*

Father, You revealed Yourself to us through the preaching of Your Apostle St. Jude. By his
prayers give Your church continued growth and increase the number of those who love You. Grant
this through Christ our Lord. Amen
