WEEK OF 7/31/06 (CONTINUED)
"O most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, people honor and invoke you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, for I am so helpless and alone.   Please help to bring me visible and speedy assistance. Come to my assistance in these great needs that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly that both my parents, Archie & Betty Skelton, will receive a good report from their cardiologist this week and not require further blood work, surgeries, procedures nor have to visit other doctors. Just have their doctor visit and be able to leave & go home for the next 6 months until their next visit. Thank you for your intercession so many times in the past. "I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of these great favors, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you by publishing this request and by encouraging others to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Amen."

SJNS: St. Jude, please intercede with special graces for them.

My dearest patron saint---- I come now to you with another request, another wish that I will change and adjust my attitude.  I want to become a more calm and rational person.  I want to grow out of the emotional tirades that cause me to bring disruption to the relationship that I want most of all in this world.  Please intervene on my behalf and ask our heavenly father, brother and holy spirit to bless me with their wisdom, patience, and understanding.  Let me demonstrate the love that I have for this man, which you help place in my life, this weekend and in the future.  Please pray for me my patron saint and I will continue to hold you in highest regard.  I continue to light the candle in appreciation and gratitude for the love of my life that you help guide back to me.  Let me learn to appreciate him more.  Please help me to change and become more like him, a true Christian, loving person.  Please, please with all my heart, help me, so that we can live in harmony, happiness and appreciation of each other. JH, Westminster, CO
SJNS: St. Jude, help them to grow closer in a special relationship.

Saint Jude, during your life you encouraged early Christian followers to remain loyal and true to their faith, even during the harshest of circumstances.  Like these followers, Shelli and I now find ourselves in need of renewed faith.  Pray for us Saint Jude, as I feel we are so helpless and alone.  Come to our assistance in this great need that we may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all our necessities, tribulations, and suffering, particularly with our marriage and our personal emotional problems.  Please intercede for us Saint Jude and show us the way to heal our marriage, and to heal our emotional lives.  Saint Jude, help us to open our hearts and minds to rededicate a new relationship guided by the love and commitment that we once knew, and help us not to lose faith in the marriage vows that we took nearly 15 years ago.  Saint Jude, help us to put aside any negative remnants of past deeds done, and let no more of the past interfere in any way, and from anyone.  Saint Jude, help us to put the bad part of our past to rest, never to be visited again, so that we may heal in the future.  Let us focus on the good past we have shared.  Help Shelli and I to embark on a new union together.  Saint Jude, help my wife Shelli find the strength to not keep looking to the past, but to look to a new future for us together in Christ.  Saint Jude pray for us to find the help we need so we may heal ourselves personally so that we may learn to love, and be filled with love, so we may conpliment and nurture each other as we share our lives together.  Saint Jude pray for our daughters, that they may find strength during this confusing time for them, that they may understand, and that they do not lose faith in their parents or the sacrament of marriage.  Pray that our daughters know they are loved.  Saint Jude pray that Shelli and I may be back together under one roof with our daughters, to be a happy family in one home filled with love and God's grace.  Pray that it happen before our anniversary or years end.  Saint Jude pray that Shelli and I and our daughters may all come out of this as stronger, better, happier people together in God's love.  Amen. David, SD
SJNS: St. Jude, help lead this family to healing and a stronger, renewed bond.

St. Jude, You have given us so much in the past I want to thank you in the name of Jesus Christ.  We did not get the best news last week about Dane's cancer.  I beg at your mercy to give us the strength to handle what is coing up.  If it is God will, please let us get good news tomorrow about his lungs.  Once again, thank you.  Dane is a special person.  He loves God and is devoted to his faith and to you.  Please help him live a long healthy life.  We love You and worship you St. Jude. Shawn, Covington, LA
SJNS: St. Jude, we beseech your intercession of physical healing gifts for Dane.

Prayer for a successful pregnancy and birth,a happy and healthy child!

Dear St. Jude, Please let me get the phone call I'm waiting for publication promised. Carol, MA
SJNS: St. Jude, we ask you to hear this prayer.

Dear St. Jude,  Please help us. For some reason our cash flow from our business is drying up and this is causing a financial hardship.  If things don't change soon we are going to find ourselves going deeper into debt in addition to not being able to pay our bills.  We do really good work in our practice and help a lot of people but without suffcient funds we can lose what we have worked so hard for.  I feel as though there has been a block put on us.  I ask you to intercede to Jesus for us and bless us with a steady cash flow that equates to the work we do.  I am not seeking wealth only enough to pay the bills and run our business and home.  Some extra to pay down debt would be a good thing too.  Please dispel this block and open the spicket to the money flow we have earned. We started this practice with your help and need it to keep going.  My wife is under so much stress due to this.  She needs relief.  I humbly ask your intercession.  I can't shake this feeling that there is evil at work here and  I ask your help to battle it.  Tim M., PA
SJNS: St. Jude, help them to overcome this difficult period and show them the path to making their practice thrive.

Dear St Jude, Please grant me a sense of peace, relief and closure to the personal dilemmas and demons that I face. I have not always been a good person, and have done things against my better judgement and beliefs now, both in personal as well as work related matters. I have also lost faith or let my faith in God drop and have only sought God & Mother Mary in my times of difficulty, but they have always provided me with a solution and peace of mind. Please grant me the forgiveness and do not allow my previous actions or bad decisions to come back and haunt or destroy me or the people I love very much now - I now, thanks to God almighty have the life I have always dreamed of. Please also forgive me for the times I have been unfair to others or if I have caused them pain in any way possible. Please protect the man I love and my family, keeping them free of pain and hurt ensuring that the issues we are currently going thru (every now and then) end peacefully and that we will have the perfect start to our new life upon.  I will make up for my sins and mistakes and ensure that I lead a life of gratitude and worship to the Lord. Please help me in my time of need and grant me the peace and long term happiness I need. Thanks you so much for listening to me in my time of need. Anonymous

St. Jude, glorious apostle, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the person (who betrayed our Lord) has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the true Church invokes you universally as the Patron of things despaired of. Pray for me, who is so miserable; pray for me, that I may finally receive the consolations and the succor of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly with my son.  St. Jude, you have not failed me yet and I thank you for granting my last prayer.  I come to you now with one more request.  My son, Matt, has been a challenge and got into some trouble a few years back which you helped me through.  I ask now that you pray for him and that as we take his previous case to the judge, he/she will expunge his record and let him get on with his life and put this unfortunate incident behind him.  I pray this with all of my heart, and that I may bless God with the Elect Throughout Eternity."
