Prayer to Saint Jude

Dear Saint Jude,
we honor you as an apostle of Christ,
a herald of the Prince of Peace.
You remained faithful to your calling
and died a martyr before being reunited with Christ in glory.
Please look down with compassion upon our turbulent world.
Intercede before the Throne of Grace
that the present global turmoil
may give way to peace and harmony among all nations.
May we live at peace with one another
 and serve the Lord Jesus
as messengers of His peace as you did.
Amen.

Saint Jude, Disciple of Jesus, pray for us.

May we become the persons our Saviour wants us to be.
Saint Jude, reigning with Christ in glory, pray for us.
May we bring forth fruit to life everlasting.
Saint Jude, advocate of the hopeless cases, pray for us.
Remind us that we can conquer all evil through Christ who Loves us.
 

Prayer For Our Country

We turn to you, Saint Michael,
as to this land we are privileged to call our own.
We recommend to you
our national leaders and all in position of authority.
Sustain our fellow citizens
from east to west
in their efforts for justice and fraternal accord.
Under your watchful care,
may we recognize each one's God-given dignity
and promote peace and good will among all citizens of earth.
Amen
 

Prayer written by:
Rev Francis A. Wisniewski, CSV

In a selfish world that seeks to destroy You,
O Lord,
and in a world mounted with false gods
and pyramids of pleasure,
we seek You,
O Lord,
with a loving and sincere heart.
In a listless world that has lost its divine beat
and pulsates erratically with hate,
envy, jealousy, greed, and every type of crime,
we listen for the comforting words
You uttered to a little girl
when You took her by the hand and said:
"Telitha Koum" -- "Little Girl, Rise."
In a faithless world,
we strive to touch the hem of Your garment
and our reach is not long enough,
it seems,
and our courage is hardly reflective
of Your undying loyalty and love for us.
In a blind world
we search the walls and wells of time,
for at least some small penetrating light to restore our faith in You,
O Lord,
and to leave all things directed to Almighty God.
In a musty and ill-smelling world
sunken very low in the foul odors
of the flesh pots of our sexually crazed society,
we look to You.
O Lord,
for relief from the swamp of filth and corruption
to make our taste and smell
wholly responsive to the Divine Banquet and the Last Supper
in reparation for our sins and the sins of others.
The Last Supper became the beginning
of our frequent covenant with You
O Lord,
in the incensation of the oblation by the angels themselves
and in the Divine-Human harmony.
In a deaf, indifferent and unconcerned world,
O Lord,
grant us the hearing of the Holy Word
and never close the Holy Words to us.
We hope to share in Your Life,
in Your Peace,
in Your Justice
that we remain always in perfect accord with You.
May the deep springs of grace
issue forth the gifts and the fruits of the Holy Spirit
so that we too may be filled
with Divine Love and with Divine Compassion.
We ask this through Our Lord,
Jesus Christ,
who dwells in eternity with the Father and the Holy Spirit
as one God, now and forever.
Amen.
