  1. Thank you St Jude for prayer for us. My relationship with my daughter has been gotten better. I think we both realized how tired we were and took it out on each other.

  2. Thanks for answered prayers for our son in law who tested negative for COVID. We are truly thankful to God and for everyone who prayed this novena. God bless.

  3. Praise be to God! I started praying the St. Jude novena when I found out that my niece in law was having complications with her pregnancy. Within that week we found out that the baby was having problems with her heart and that it was causing her stress. The doctor referred my niece in law to Pediatric specialist In another town. The Doctor performed an eco on the baby in the womb and stated that she would possibly need oxygen and be closely monitored when she’s born. The doctor wanted to induce labor sometime this Monday or Tuesday but sweet little baby girl decided to come on her own. She was born early Monday at 1:40 am and did not need oxygen, she is being observed but she’s doing well. I praise God and thank St. Jude for his intercession in helping to heal my grandniece’s heart. I pray that it grows strong in faith and love for our Lord and St. Jude.

  4. Our daughter Jennifer got a great job here in San Diego after being furloughed from her job in NYC and moving back home. She also met a wonderful young man who is now her boyfriend. In spite of the pandemic she has found joy and happiness. Praise God!

  5. My sister spoke to me kindly and actually had a conversation with me about what is going on in her life after promisig not to take my phone call ever again. I could never have a conversation with her without insults and me having to end the call.
    St. Jude was my dad’s favorite saint. To God be all the glory and honor.

  6. 43years ago, my husband,children & I lived in a very cold & snowy part of Michigan. I prayed a novena to St. Jude to help us sell our house & direct us to a new place to live.
    My husband was a barber & was not too happy to leave his clients but after he had a mild heart attack I knew I had to do what was necessary to prolong his life. He was 49.
    We flew south to find a suitable place to live & after 3 days of failed looking we decided to return to Michigan. But it was not meant to happen because my husband had a thought to take an earlier flight & search the city where I never heard of. My desire to pray was so strong & that led to our destiny of moving to Charlotte N. Carolina.
    On the 2nd day of our move into our new home the real estate agent handed me a second set of house keys & attached to the keys was a Medal of St. Jude.
    Thanks be to God & the Intercession of St. Jude my family is happy & has grown from 6 to 24. My husband had to have by pass surgery 11 years after we moved here but he lived to be 85 years old. Thanks be to God. He has been gone for our physical life but not from our heart ❤️.
    Thank you St Jude for interceding for me & my family. Amen

  7. I have been battling brain cancer since January. Recently my blood counts dropped and I was going to have to stop my chemo and delay my
    Very last round. I prayed this novena along with some of my friends and on Friday my blood counts were up and in amazing ranges. Even my oncologist was pleasantly surprised. Thanks to this novena and faith in God I will start my last cycle on time and with a strong body.

  8. Dear St. Jude, thank you that I will soon be having a consultation with a parathyroid surgeon. Please ask Jesus to help me find the right medical professionals to heal me of my kidney and hyperparathyroid disease.

    Please help our son with his anxiety and help him to find employment with God 🙏 loving people.

  9. Several family members have talked and resolved differences, and one has recognized that she has behavioral problems and is getting professional help with them. Thank you, St. Jude.
    PS Youngest daughter and husband are expecting their first child, a boy, and have selected the name “Jude”. Coincidence?? I think not!!

  11. Hector was diagnosed with COVID-19

    Thank you and Peace be with You!!

  12. Many Many Thanks to St Jude for assisting in Tasha’s Recovery! And for One Of her 3 Children being returned to her.
    Our Bishop made it possible for her to be received into the Catholic Church (she was Anglican – i.e. Church of England) last Wednesday, October 21st; and the following Day one of her 3 I children was brought back to her. We did not expect her to receive back any of her children who were placed in care when she was placed in Our Mental Hospital 2 Months ago for failing to take her medication for about 2 years! This is TRULY A MIRACLE. She said this herself! That Very morning when she saw the Psychiatrist, he told her not to expect to get back her children anytime soon!
    After the Mass of her First Communion, The Bishop Himself (and a few friends of hers) prayed with her for the healing of her Mind, and Patience with God’s Will regarding the time that her children would be returned to her.
    The Social Workers themselves, who told her not to expect her children any time soon, called her just before she was to leave for her First Mass following her First Communion Mass to tell her they were bringing her one of the Twins – the boy, because he was showing signs of stress. Since then she was able to see the other twin (they are 5 years old) the girl; and feels comforted because she saw that she was well looked after.
    The Boy Immediately improved since he is living with his Mom! God is GREAT!!! We give God ALL THE GLORY! Thank you St. Jude for Interceding for Tasha’s Situation! Thanks Again to all who prayed for my Intentions! Peace! 🌻

  13. I prayed so hard that Judge Amy Barret was confirmed for our US Supreme Court. Her background and faith will be an asset to our country. I know it was God’s Will. God Bless the USA.
    🙏🙏🙏🙏

  14. There had been a situation going on in my life for over a year which has been very stressful and depressing. It was taking a toll on my life and health and taking forever to be resolved. After 3 days of praying this novena, I received a letter stating everything was finished and I can now move on with my life.

    Thanks so very much St. Jude!

  15. I have been asking prayers for my daughter and she is doing really good, she has a job. And doing good. Thank you.

  16. Thank God. and honor to St Jude. My grandniece received a very good offer of scholarship to college. Her original school cancelled sports and she was left flailing. The offer was even better than the first school, a nice reward for fourteen years of hard work in the sport and in her studies.

  17. I received two financial blessings. I was able to pay some bills. I am truly grateful. Please continue to pray for me and my family. I truly thank all of you.

  18. Thank you, most holy St Jude for answering my prayer for help with my truck situation, by bringing a trustworthy servant back into my life,

  53. Finance troubles are a huge burden for us right now. Especially as we need to have repairs done on our house and we have no savings. We decided to refinance our house and take out some cash to do the repairs. Our equity broker estimated what our house was worth and gave us the figures. We wouldn’t be getting very much but it would be something that we could use to do some of the repairs. Today we got the official appraisal back and our house appraised for $2,000 more than she predicted so we should be able to take a little more out to help with the repairs!

  54. Beginning recovery from COVID-19 virus by Mr. Jim Craig, the father of another of our Deacons (Dcn. Steve Craig). Mr. Craig was in ICU at a Tulsa hospital and was losing strength. People were asked to pray and I shared with many via facebook and email the Novena Prayer to St. Jude. As of Sunday the family reported a stabalization and steady improvement. While Mr. Craig remains hospitalized the prognosis is looking up. Continuing to pray for a full recovery and restoration to good health.

When I was still reviewing for my November 2018 Civil Engineering Board Exam in the Philippines, I prayed this Novena for 9 days, because as they said, St. Jude is the patron of hopeless and is the patron saint for asking guidance in academics especially in board exams. I also went to the St. Jude church here in Manila. When the result came out, I was very thankful when I saw my name as one of the list of passers of that exam.

A month later, I purposely went back to that church to pray and give thanks to St. Jude and to the Lord for letting me be granted of this blessings.

  76. Let’s get it right. Seems like there’s do many ideas we need to revisit. Here’s one:
    It’s the original version (Yehudah in Hebrew) and a classic Jewish name dating back to biblical times. Jude came into use as a unisex short form of Judah and Judith at a later time, in the 1600s. … Interesting fact: the apostle called Jude in the bible was really named Judas, which is the Greek form of Judah.Mar. 22, 2020. forum.nameberry.com

Had to apply for roof damage from Hurricane Lsura, still dealing with appeal 9n that claim I filed. The home was hit twice from both storms and no insurance on home. Home is livable due to ur efforts of our family and friends cleaning and ripping out flooring. We have no where else to live nor funds to go anywhere. Charitable help is almost nonexistent due to long wait list from Laura, so finding help for Laura damage is impossible. But nothing to great for our God. So grateful. Mom is 87 n I’m 67 and we have taken in two friends In their 60’s that have no homes due to both hurricanes.

  79. I received a miracle whilst prayin this novena I kno I asked for more intentions but I’ll wait with joyful hope. Thank you 😊
