Pray the Solemn Novena to St. Jude And Your Intentions

Dear Joe, Friend of St. Jude, I want to remind you that it’s not too late to send your intentions for the Solemn Novena to St. Jude that takes place tomorrow through February 10th at the National Shrine of St. Jude. St. Jude learned from Jesus not to be afraid to ask for what is needed. As devotees of St. Jude, we can ask with confidence and hope that through St. Jude’s intercession we may find answers to our prayers, healing for our pains, and strength to meet the challenges in our lives. Today I have sent you all nine days of prayer in one message. Please save or print this message and return to it each day of the Solemn Novena to St. Jude.
