  • Novena to St. Jude

    Novena to St. Jude

    Say once a day for 9 days, especially beginning on 19 October and ending on 27 October, the eve of the Feast of St. Jude. When the Novena is finished, you must publicly thank St. Jude for his prayers for you. This is often done by taking out a small ad in the Classifieds section of newspapers.

    To Saint Jude, Holy Saint Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke thy special patronage in time of need. To thee I have recourse from the depths of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition, in return I promise to make thy name known and cause thee to be invoked. Saint Jude pray for us and all who invoke thy aid. Amen.

    Recite an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be three times. Keep your promise to St. Jude and make his name known.

  • Nicene Creed

    Nicene Creed

    I believe in one God,
    the Father, the Almighty,
    Maker of heaven and earth,
    of all things visible and invisible.
    I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
    the only-begotten Son of God,
    born of the Father before all ages,
    God from God, Light from Light,
    true God from true God,
    begotten, not made,
    consubstantial with the Father.
    Through him all things were made.
    For us and for our salvation
    he came down from heaven:by the power of the Holy Spirit
    was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
    and became man.
    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
    he suffered death and was buried,
    and rose again on the third day
    in accordance with the Scriptures.
    He ascended into heaven
    and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
    He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
    and his kingdom will have no end.
    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
    who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
    With the Father and the Son he is adored and glorified.
    He has spoken through the Prophets.
    I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
    I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins,
    and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
    and the life of the world to come.
  • Apostles Creed

    Apostles Creed

    I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;
    and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord,
    Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
    He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;
    He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
