Novena to Saint Jude
Saint of the Impossible
Just click on the image below
The instructions are simple:
-
Simply click here (or on the image above)
to print or download the novena
-
Once the novena appears either print
it or download it to save it
-
For the entire Novena you must
print enough copies for 9 consecutive days of the novena, leaving
9 copies in Church each day. Your prayer well may be answered
before the 9th day, so you need not print them for all nine days.
Simply fold
the single sheet of paper twice to create a four-fold booklet with the
Novena to Saint Jude.
It is important to recognize that even in the beautiful
Communion
of Saints, our petitions to God — even those prayed for us by the
Saints themselves — are placed in the hands of our loving, all-knowing,
and all-good God Who alone sees and knows all ends and what is
truly best for us and those we love. We may believe that the good that
we pray for is the greatest good possible ... but only
God, seeing and willing the greatest good possible — knows
what the greatest good is for us and those we confidently pray for.
We do not resent God for this, but love Him all the more, for ever He
is ready to give us far more than we ask for! (St.
Luke 11.11-12)
Yet we pray this novena for them in confidence, for it is borne to God
on our fervent love — which He sees in His mercy unspeakable. Too many
miracles have been obtained through this devotion for us to declare
that we are now too sophisticated for what the simple in faith (and
even the learned ) have long had recourse to.
Please —
say one single prayer for us ...
the simplest, even a two word prayer
in passing ... for which we will be immeasurably grateful.

Dear
Saint Jude,
Thank you for helping me! Thank
you for making what was impossible for me, possible through your intercession:
for helping me stop smoking — after decades of trying! I had tried everything
throughout the years: cigarette-holder devices, patches, hypnosis,
cold-turkey, everything! Even after a terrible injury when doctors told
me that I absolutely had to stop smoking to allow enough blood to reach
the injury to heal it, I couldn't!
Then my daughter and her husband downloaded this novena to you, and
prayed it for me. I was touched by their love but really didn't think
it could work
“for me”.
Not me! Not after all these years.
Well, for the first time since I began smoking even before my teens--I
have stopped! I would never have thought it was possible.
You ARE the Saint of the Impossible! Thank you for helping me. Thank
you for praying for me. I really hope to thank you in person one day!

PS: Dear Editor. I remember that you had
to promise to publish that St. Jude helped you. Now we have the Internet.
Thank you for publishing this, if you do!
Totally
Faithful to the Sacred Deposit of Faith entrusted
to the Holy See in Rome
“Scio
opera tua ... quia modicum habes virtutem, et servasti verbum
Meum, nec non negasti Nomen Meum”
“I
know your works ... that you have but little power, and
yet you have kept My word, and have not denied My Name.”
(Apocalypse
3.8)
