WEEK OF 8/07/06 (CONTINUED)
Dearest St. Jude, I come to you again and am asking for your intercession. First, I have to thank you for always being there for me. I thank you for your guidance and I will continue to ask you for guidance.  I want to thank you with all my heart for sending me the messages and signs that have helped me keep my faith and hope. Today is the 9th day of my novena and I do feel you sent me a message today when I read another poster's petition  that is very very similar to what I am praying for. It gave me hope because the request is also  a message of thanks stating the prayer was finally answered.   Thank you for letting me know you are listening. I will always pray that I can stay devoted to you and the Blessed Mother in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. By now, I know that our prayers are answered in God's time, not, on our time. I want to publish this request/petition for a certain individual in my personal life. I have been praying for H.B. because I know and am sure I have been guided to do so by God.  I have not given up on him. I pray that he will be guided to me. I know St. Jude you are gradually guiding him  because you have sent me some signs to let me know my prayers are being answered in God's time.  I ask that one day he will feel strongly feel interested in me enough to where he will want to know more about me soulfully and give me a chance.  I pray that one day he will reciprocate the feelings and soulful desires I have always felt for him and have always wanted with him. Up to this day, he is the only person where I felt strongly connected with in so many ways.  Many of my thoughts are consumed about H.B. No one else has ever replaced H.B.  I have been praying for quite some time that if my prayer about H.B. will never be answered then please guide another young man to me. I pray that if another young man is guided to me; I ask that we will both feel strongly connected and interested in each other. I also ask that if someone else is meant for me then please strongly guide my thoughts towards the other individual instead of H.B. I still have not given up on praying for H.B. and what I pray to happen between us. I have prayed more than one 9 day novena to you for this whole situation, and since no one else has come into my life I do feel that one day my prayer about H.B. will be answered along with the signs and messages I have received. I will continue to believe and keep hope & faith.  St. Jude, I also want to pray for my parents. I strongly ask you to help them financially. I pray for their home, because they are in a situation where the house might be lost. I pray that the house will not be lost. Please come to their aid financially. Please work out a solution for them and their living situation with the house. My mother is also praying to you. Please hear her prayers as well. Thank you for listening and being there St. Jude, and please help the other posters on this site with their requests.  I will never lose the faith. Catherine T, CC, TX

SJNS: St. Jude, we beseech your special intercession in helping this situation turn out in favor of her and her family.

My prayer to St. Jude is one of not only asking but promising that I will do all that is necessary to mend my relationship with my spouse.  I am facing the possible breakup with my spouse after many, many years and history between us. I ask St. Jude to help us reunite in harmony and lead a dedicated life to God and each other following His Will.  I ask that St. Jude intercede for us and that whatever my spouse is going through whether it is one of life's stages or possibly due to some aberration in his thinking to help him see that we belong together until death do us part.  I ask this with faith and with the promise to do all to this work. Thank You, BS, Sunny Isles, FL
SJNS:  May St. Jude help them find the path back together.

St. Jude, Faithful Servant and Friend of Jesus, Patron of Lost Causes, of things almost despaired of, pray for me...St. Jude, I have prayed to you faithfully for about a year now.  Please help me overcome this loneliness and sense of despair.  I am ready to move on and need your help and intervention to our Lord - ask him for his mercy and kindness to shine down upon me and my family.  We all need some happiness and laughter in our life again.  I have found someone who I think may be the one to help us through these turbulent times - ask our Lord for his help - intervene for us.  I believe I can also benefit this person as well.  All I am asking for is a friend, nothing more, someone to share my thoughts with, someone to laugh with, and someone to call a friend.  I am in a state of such despair that I am afraid for myself and my family.  St. Jude, please do not let my prayers go unanswered.  I remain ever faithful...Anonymous

SJNS: St. Jude, we ask for your powerful intervention in hearing this request.

I am really struggling with not being able to be a stay at home mother.  I have a precious 14 mo old baby girl and just found out that I'm expecting again, and the thought of having to work and not stay home to raise them kills me. I am desperately asking for the financial freedom that we need in order for this to happen.  My heart's desire is to be able to be a wife/mother and a servant of Jesus Christ by doing ministry work. With the financial freedom I want to start a foundation to help children in need and I also want to donate a large amount of money to St Jude's Chrildren't hospital. I have such good intentions for what I truly want to do with my life in service to God.... I just need the means to be able to make this happen.  I pray that st Jude will intercede for me and allow this financial victory to come to me soon. Diane Connelly, Merrimack, NH
SJNS: St. Jude, please intercede with an opportunity to help her stay at home with her children.
