Celebrate the Solemn Novena to St. Jude
As God calls us always into renewed relationship with Him in both joyous and difficult times, devotion to St. Jude gives us a meaningful way to respond to that call. Through our Solemn Novena prayers to St. Jude, we express our deep desire to grow in faith and to draw closer to God.
Why St. Jude Novena Prayer?
The nine days of novena prayer signify the nine days the twelve Apostles prayed together between Jesus’ Ascension and Pentecost, when they were filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit. St. Jude was one of the Apostles and a cousin of Jesus.
St. Jude promises to deliver our prayers to God, and in turn to give us comfort and hope as we wait to see how life will unfold. It is then, as we wait and discern how we can best continue moving forward while our needs remain, that God fulfills His assurance that He is with us always.
We ask St. Jude, one of our patron saints, to continue to intercede for us and help us in all our endeavors and plans. May our honor and reverence to St. Jude allow us to bear fruits that will benefit our parish community.
How do I pray to St. Jude?
Our prayer life is a response to the needs and blessings of our days. The desire to pray to St. Jude comes from our needs. Your prayer can be as simple as “St. Jude, pray for us,” or “Thank you, St. Jude.” Through our prayer, St. Jude offers us another source to appreciate the wisdom of God and to receive the strength of the Holy Spirit—all helping us through our challenges.
The Solemn Novena to St. Jude is an opportunity to pray in a unique way, placing our petitions before the Patron Saint of Hope for his intercession. We invigorate our regular daily prayer by dedicating these nine days to placing our special intentions and gratitude before God and sharing with Him our specific petitions.
