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!
PK
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)
