SJNS: St. Jude, we ask you to hear this petition.

I ask for St. Jude's intercession because of my hopelessness in a relationship.  Over time I have developed a friendship and mutual respect for a man who I have also grown to love very much.  But because of painful past relationships for him, he is very hesitant and somewhat incapable of trusting again and fears any kind of committment.  I know he cares for me and I pray that he can let go of his fears and learn to love me, too.  I pray for a healthy, intimate, long-term relationship for us both. Maureen
SJNS: We ask St. Jude to help them be nurtured along and grow their relationship.
