Day 8

Not much has happened this week in regards to my petition. I am still sad, but the depression has abated some...I feel flat. No crying, though. I know I am supposed to accept God's will, but it is hard. On top of everything, it is the holiday season which makes things worse. I want to be grateful for the comforts I have, but it's all so depressing I just go home from work and sleep...it's really the only way I can find peace. Nothing makes sense. I'm tired and tired of being hurt.

To be said when problems arise or when one seems to be deprived of all available help, or for cases almost despaired of.


Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me. I am so helpless and alone. Make use I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly 
(here make your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, O’ blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you Amen.

Novena Prayer must be said nine times each day for nine consecutive days leaving nine copies in Church each day. Prayer will be answered on or before the ninth day and has never been known to fail.
