St. Jude Novena: Day 4

I am still depressed and ended up sleeping all day today. I hope tomorrow I can start clearing some clutter and cleaning my space to make room for the light and good things the Universe wants me (all of us, really) to have. I know all of this is part of the grieving process, but, with the holidays approaching (never a good time for me...the darkness and all), it is just...well...hard. I need to do one good thing to help someone else today. So many others have helped me. I will report back tomorrow.

Here is my St. Jude prayer for today.

Saint Blessed Jude, you were called to be one of Christ's chosen apostels and labored to bring men to a knowledge and love of God; listen with compasson to those gathered together to honor you and ask your intercession. In this troubled world of ours we have may trials, difficulties and temptations. Plead for us in the heavenly court, asking that our petitions may be answered, especially the particular one we have in mind at the moment (mention your request). May it please God to answer our prayers in the way that he knows best, giving us grace to see his purpose in all things. Amen.

St. Jude, pray for us.

My Jesus, mercy.
