St. Jude The Apostle of Miracles -Helper in Hopeless and Desperate Causes



Profile Of the Great Master and Saint

St. Jude Thaddeus, Apostle, and Helper in Hopeless and Desperate Cases: One of the twelve Apostles, St. Jude was the brother of the Apostle James the Less and was a near relative of the Virgin Mary; he is one of "the brethren of the Lord" mentioned in Matthew 13:55. St. Jude firmly established the Church of Edessa and then visited the whole of Mesopotamia. He was Martyred in Persia, and his body was translated to Rome where it rests Peter's Basilica. St. Bernard of Clairvaux venerated a relic of St. Jude throughout his life, and then asked that the relic be placed on his breast and buried with him when he died. St. Jude is represented wearing a picture of Our Lord on his breast, to commemorate Our Lord's miraculous imprinting of His face on a cloth. (courtesy:-communityofhopeinc.org)

St.Jude Novena(Prayer) For Desperate and Hopeless cases


"May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be Adored, Glorified, Loved & Preserved throughout the world, now & forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, please pray for me. Saint Jude, Worker of Miracles, please pray for me. Saint Jude, Helper of the Hopeless, please pray for me. Amen."

"O most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, people honor and invoke you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, for I am so helpless and alone. Please help to bring me visible and speedy assistance. 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 (state your request) and that I may praise God with you always."

"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 by publishing this request. Amen."

"Holy Saint Jude, Apostle and Martyr, Great in virtue and rich in miracles, Near kinsman of Jesus Christ, Faithful intercessor of all Who invoke your special patronage in time of need. To you I have recourse from the depths of my heart And humbly beg to whom God has given such great power To come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition, In return I promise to make your name known And cause you to be invoked. Saint Jude pray for me and all those who invoke your aid. Amen."

NB:-One has to pray the above prayer Nine times a day for Nine consecutive days. On eighth day your prayers will be answered. Pray for Nine days . The Benevolent Apostle will never let you down.

[I am not a Christian by birth. I consider the most benevolent and compassionate St.Jude the Apostle, as my master and saviour as proved several times in my life. Though I do not follow any particular faith, I bow and prostate in front of all great Masters of the Universe, who lived for the sake of the downtrodden and also for the lost.]

Kindly pray for your desperate cases and leave a comment on realisation of the same. Spread the name of the Great Saint and let the whole humanity get benefited by his benevolent grace.
