Devotions and Prayers

To Saint Jude, Holy Saint Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman to Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke thy 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 thy name known and cause you to be invoked.  Saint Jude pray for us and all who invoke thy aid. Amen

Recite an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be (3 times).  Keep your promise to St. Jude and make his name known.

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of thy mercy.

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.  To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.  Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Glory be to the Father,

and to the Son,

and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning,

is now,

and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Hail Mary,

Full of Grace,

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit

of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary,

Mother of God,

pray for us sinners now,

and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.  I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.  Amen.
