St. Jude Novena: Day 9

O holy Saint Jude, apostle and martyr, grant that we may so dispose our lives that we may always be pleasing to God. In working out our salvation in this life we have many needs and necessities. Today we turn to you, asking you to intercede for us and obtain for us the favors we ask of God. Especially do we petition for (mention your request). May we not so much seek temporal good but rather what will avail our souls therefore, may we incline ourselves toward the divine will, seeing God's good and gracious purpose in all our trials. Amen.

St. Jude pray for us

My Jesus Mercy

Prayer for relationships:

St. Jude, we are having problems in our relationship. Beg Almighty God to give us the light to see ourselves and each other as we really are. Help us to grow daily in self-knowledge and mutual respect while at the same time developing our potential to love and be loved. Help us, St. Jude, to seek and root out every manifestation of selfishness, vanity and childish self seeking...those hidden enemies of love and maturity. Show us that by learning to love and being filled with love we now complement and nurture each other as we share our lives together.
