Hi friends,<P>Well I have always heard of the prayer to ST. Jude, and in a desperate situation, I used it. It worked for me. Thats not to say it will always work, but prayer itself provides so much comfort. <P>Here is the prayer:<P>Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of the hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, trigulation, and sufferings, particularly (here make your request) and That I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. 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 gratefull encourage devotion to you. Amen. <P>(To encourage devotion to St. Jude, distribute prayer and acknowledge in writing favors received.) <P>I got this from a prayer page at <A HREF="http://sites.netscape.net/dalechvz/INDEX.HTML" TARGET=_blank>http://sites.netscape.net/dalechvz/INDEX.HTML</A> <P>for those looking for other prayers for different problems.<P>And as I'm gratefully sharing this with you, I do want to thank St Jude for answering my prayer.'<P>Hugs to all, Dana<P><p>[This message has been edited by DanaB (edited March 28, 2001).]
