O Lord Jesus, Let me know myself. A. Let me hate myself and love Thee. L. Let me humble myself and exalt Thee. A. Let me die to myself and live in Thee. L. Let me foresake myself and walk after Thee. A. Let me flee from myself and turn to Thee. L. Let me fear for myself. A. Let my distrust myself and trust in Thee. L. Let me cleave to nothing but only to Thee. A. Look upon me that I may love Thee. L. O most holy Virgin Mary, who didst bear Jesus our Savior and didst shed the everlasting Light upon the world, O Mother of divine knowledge, whose merciful intercession hath procured the grace of increasing in knowledge and piety for countless minds that were rude and ignorant, I choos thee as the guide and patroness of my studies. A. By thine intercession, O Mother of fruitful studies, may the Holy Spirit fill my spirit with light and fortitude, prudence and humility; may He give me a good will, intelligence, memory and ability in sufficient measure, and above all, a spirit of docility both inmind and heart, that I may proceed in all things according to the counsels of divine Wisdom. L. Defend me good Mother, against the spirit of pride and presumption of vain curiosity and instability; keep me from every occasion of stumbling, from all erroneous opinion, and from all things that might corrupt my faith and disturb the clearness of my understanding, the purity of my heart, and the peace of my soul. A. Grant, O Mary, that under thy protection, I may ever be submissive to the direction and teachings of Holy Church, my mother, and many advance in the way of the truth and virtue surely, courageously and without wavering; at length may I attain to the knowledge, the love and the everlasting possession of Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. AMEN. Novena Prayers O MY GOD, I firmly believe / that Thou art really and 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 to adore It eternally in heaven. AMEN O GLORIOUS APOSTLE, St. Jude Thaddeus, / true relative of Jesus and Mary, / I salute thee through the most Sacred Heart of Jesus! / Through this Heart / I praise and thank God / for all the graces He has bestowed upon thee. / Humbly prostrate before thee, / I implore thee through this Heart / to look down upon me / with compassion. / Oh, despise not my poor prayers; / let not my trust be confounded! / To thee God has granted the priviledge/ of aiding mankind in the most desperate cases. / Oh, come to my aid, / that I may praise the mercies of God! / All my life I will be grateful to thee / and will be thy faithful client / until I can thank thee in heaven. AMEN. L. Blessed Apostle, with confidence we invoke thee! L. St. Jude, help of the hopeless, aid us in our distress! Pray for us, / that before death / we may expiate all our sins / by sincere repentance / and the worthy reception fo the Holy Sacraments! Pray for us, / that we may appease the Divine Justice / and obtain a favorable judgement! Pray for us, / that we may be admitted / into the company of the blessed / to rejoice in the pressence of our God forever. Most Holy Apostle, / St. Jude Thaddeus, / faithful servant and friend of Jesus, / the name of the traitor who delivered thy beloved Master / into the hands of His enemies / has caused thee to be forgotten by many, / but the Church honors / and invoke thee universally / as the patron of hopeless cases / and of things despaired of. Pray for me / who am so miserable; / make us, I implore thee, / of that particular privilege accorded to thee / to bring visible and speedy help / where help is almost despaired of. / Come to my assistance / in this great need / that I may receive / the consolations and succor of heaven / in all my necessities, / tribulations and sufferings, / particularly (here make your request) / and that I may bless God with thee / and all the elect forever. I promise thee, / O Blessed Jude, / to be ever mindful / of this great favor / and I will never cease to honor thee / as my special and powerful patron / and to do all in my power / to encourage devotion to thee. AMEN. L. St. Jude, Pray for Us! Let Us Pray O ST. JUDE THADDEUS, Thou relative of Jesus Christ, / thou glorious apostle and martyr, / renowned for thy virtues and miracles, / faithful and prompt intercessor of all who honor thee and trust in thee! / Thou art a powerful patron and helper in grievous afflictions. / I come to thee and entreat thee from the very depths of my heart; / come to my aid with thy powerful intercession, / for thou hast received from God the privilege / to assist with thy manifest help, / those who almost despair of all hope. / Look down upon me; / my life is a life of crosses, my days are days of tribulation / and my heart is an ocean of bitterness. / All my paths are strewn with thorns / and scarcely one moment passes / but is witness of my tears and sighs; / uneasiness, discouragement, mistrust / and almost despair prey upon my soul. / Thou canst not forsake me in this sad plight. / I will not depart from thee until thou hast heard me. / Oh! hasten to my aid, / I will be grateful to thee all my life. / I will honor thee as my special patron, / I will thank God for the graces bestowed upon thee / and will encourage devotion to thee according to my power. AMEN L. St. Jude, Pray for Us! |
