Novena to St. Jude
Saint Jude Thaddeus is the patron of hopeless, desperate situations, hope for the hopeless, impossible causes, hospitals and hospital workers. He was a blood relative of Jesus Christ and one of his Apostles. St. Jude Thaddeus is famous for his preaching, healing, exorcising, and appearance which very closely matched that of Jesus. He wrote the Epistle named for him and his patronage of lost causes seems to be a mix up between himself and Judas Iscariot. St. Jude Thaddeus' feast day is October 28th. It is said that his novena prayed by the desperate has never been known to fail.
Those who come to him in faith in their time of need have always been given some sign, grace, answer, or consolation that their prayers were heard. In fact, the name “Jude” means “giver of joy,” while “Thaddeus” means “generous” and “kind.”
The National Shrine of St. Jude has a website dedicated to this saint in celebration of his faithfulness to those who come to him with their petitions. Thousands of people have posted their thanks in appreciation of St. Jude’s intercession for their troubles.
The tradition of St. Jude being invoked by the hopeless, and thus becoming the patron saint of hope, was popularized due to the writings of St. Bridget of Sweden.
Jesus told St. Bridget in a vision,
“In accordance with his surname, Thaddeus, the amiable or loving, he will show himself most willing to give help.”
St. Jude shares a feast day with St. Simon the Apostle on October 28th. Although this novena (nine consecutive days of prayer for a particular intention) can be prayed successfully at any time, it is especially efficacious leading up to his feast from October 19 – October 27th.
St. Jude is also the patron saint of hospitals and hospital workers.
