Gracious God,
your Son Jesus Christ gave us the confidence to call you Father.
We believe you care for us.
We believe also in the communion of saints.
With confidence we ask St. Jude, patron of difficult cases,
to pray with us, for Grace.
Thank you, God, for hearing our prayer. Amen.
St. Jude Hymn
Apostle of Jesus,
A witness to his Word
As helper of the needy,
Jude's name is ever heard;
A preacher of the Gospel
To poor and blind and lame,
A worker great of wonders
In Jesus' Holy Name.
All praise to the Father
And to his Son, Our Lord,
And to the Holy Spirit
Whose strength we have implored,
With all the saints in heaven
We join our voice as one
To pray as Jesus taught us,
Thy will be ever done.
