St. Jude Shrine

The first Wednesday of the month is a special day of prayer at the Claretian shrine in Chicago.

May the Lord bless you and keep you and all those you love, especially those affected by cancer.  Throughout Wednesday’s liturgies…, we will pray in a special way for all those who suffer from cancer.  We invite you to join us today, and on the first Wednesday of every month, as we call upon St. Jude for the healing of cancer (National Shrine of St. Jude).

Let’s all join in prayer for our loved ones— family and friends here and gone— to thank God for the many blessings, big and small, that he bestows on us daily.

          

Prayer

O holy St Jude, apostle and martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor for all who invoke you, special patron in time of need: To you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly beg you, to whom God has given such great power, to come to my assistance.  Help me now in my urgent need and grant my earnest petition.

I will never forget your graces and favors you obtain for me, and I will do my utmost to spread devotion to you.

St. Jude, pray for us and all who honor you and invoke your aid.

Pray three Our Father‘s, three Hail Mary’s, and three Glory be’s.
