NinethDay NOVENA for SAINT JUDE THADDAEUS Feast Day October 28 OH MY GOD, I firmly believe that Thou art really ad corporally present in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar. I adore Thee here present from the very depths of my heart, and I worship Thy sacred presence with all possible humility. O my soul, what joy to have Jesus Christ always with us, and to be able to speak to Him, heart to heart, with all confidence. Grant, O Lord, that I, having adored Thy divine Majesty here on earth in this wonderful Sacrament, may be able o adore it eternally in heaven. Amen. NINETH DAY: Saint Jude, we have also problems in our relationship. Beg almighty God to give us the light to see ourselves and each other as we really are. Help us to grow daily in self- knowledge and mutual love, while at the same time developing our potential to love and be loved. Help us, Saint Jude, to see and root out every manifestation of selfishness, vanity, and childish self-seeking–those hidden enemies of love and maturity. Show us that by learning to love and being filled with love, we may complement and nurture each other as we share our lives together. LITANY OF ST. JUDE THADDEUS Lord, have mercy on us.
