St. Jude Thaddeus is the Patron Saint of Hope

Ask for St. Jude’s intercession as you Pray with Fr. Bob.

St. Jude Thaddeus was one of the first disciples to join Jesus. He was one of the twelve Apostles at the Last Supper and after the Lord’s resurrection, traveled the world to bring the good news of salvation. St. Jude brought a message of hope — often in the most difficult circumstances. Known as the Patron Saint of Hope, the power of his intercession is legend.

Today, people all over the world turn to St. Jude in times of urgent or desperate need. He is invoked in times of need and for serious or seemingly hopeless causes — including depression,grieving, unemployment, and illness. He is traditionally depicted carrying the image of Jesus in his hand which represents the imprint of the divine Countenance that was entrusted to him by Jesus.

Through our faith in God and St. Jude’s intercession, we can hold on to the hope that even the impossible can be overcome and our prayers will be heard. We can find healing, and we can find the strength to meet the challenges in our lives that seem too heavy to bear or too impossible to manage.

May the hope of St. Jude remain alive in your heart in all you do.

St. Jude Intercession Prayer

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant, and friend of Jesus, God has granted you the privilege of aiding in hopeless and desperate cases. I am in need of your compassion! I implore you; come to my aid and intercede on my behalf. Amen.

Prayer to St. Jude

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us. St. Jude worker of miracles, pray for us. Saint Jude helper and keeper of the hopeless, pray for us.   Thank you St. Jude.  Amen.

Thank You to St. Jude: Thank you Saint Jude – Suzanne M Barry

Thank You to St. Jude: Thank you St. Jude for curing my daughter of an aggressive brain tumor. For those of you reading this, my daughter was 9 months old when we started treatment. It was so scary. Our two years out of treatment is on March 24-28 at which point they said that the tumor would never return. We saw signs to go to St. Jude Children’s Hospital and we went. We begged God for a sign, and he sent us to you. Please keep my family safe, I promise you again that I will thank you publicly every chance I get. I will bring donations to that hospital. You saved my soul the day you helped save my daughter. I am so grateful. – Shalene Johnson

Thank You to St. Jude: My daughter is Bella Snow Johnson. She was around 9 months old when we were told she had a brain tumor. They said it wasn’t like any others they’d seen before, that it looked similar to two different kinds but it was its own awful brand. The percentages were scary.
I begged God for a sign. That’s when the billboards started. There are very few billboards in my rural Ohio city. Two billboards popped up, one infront of my shop to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Then the checks started, my clients paid me and I’d see St. Jude’s emblem in the corner. Then the radio ads started, I’d never heard them before, for “St. Jude Children’s Hospital.”
On the last round of chemotherapy our doctor approached us and she told us about a doctor she worked with at St. Jude Children’s Hospital, he’s the best in the world and she could get us in with him as a patient.. St. Jude Children’s Hospital is 9 hours away and we drove to it. When God speaks to you, you listen.
The doctors told us that when my daughter is 2 years out of treatment, the chance of that tumor ever returning is very very slim. Our two year MRI is March 24-28 at St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis. My daughter is a twin and she’s 3 now, she will be 4 in late June.

 

I promised St. Jude’s statue that sits outside of the hospital that if he helped my daughter, I’d tell everyone and I’d do whatever I could to donate back to the hospital. My daughter is a living miracle, thank you St. Jude!!!! – Shalene Johnson

Thank You to St. Jude: Thank you St. Jude for answering my prayers.
