Impossibl e, hec:u111: n reality.
!laving out gl'own our small chapel it was
decided that a fitt iug shrine must be erected in
honor of the great Putmn of' ll opeless Cases,
St. Jude. Therefore, ou September 28, 1958
the cornerstone for the new edifice was laid
by His Eminence Rufino J. ardinal Santos.
From solid foundations rose foot by foot a
worthy place of offering veneration to St. Jude.
In grateful thanksgtving to St. Jude for the
many blessings bestowed on our parishioners
in the past and in petition that hts shrine be
successfull y completed we have decided to

well aware of the fact that not only our own
parishioners but thousands of others would also

ST. JUDE THADDEUS
Forgotten
The Forgotten Saint, this is the t itle t hat is
sometimes given to Saint Jude Thaddeus. It is hord Hl
conceive how any saint of God could really be forgollcn
by men, yet it may be explained by a certain confusion
of names. No doubt it was by reason of the shameful
treason of another Jude, Judas lscariot, that the name of
a g lorious apost le and martyr has suffered the
forgetfulness of men. At all times, therefore in this short
sketch of our patron's life will be called, not simply St.
Jude, but St. Jude Thaddeus. Today more than ever is the
power of St. Jude Thaddeus being revived in the minds
and the hearts of men. He, in turn, is proving himself
more than an ordinary advocate by, apparently, taking
special delight in coming to the aid of persons in desperate
need. Therefore, he is known as the "Patron in Desperate
Cases." Although the name, St. Jude Thaddeus, has been
neglected in the devotions of men it is nevertheless one
of the oldest names in the calendar of the Church. It has
the sanction of antiqui ty dating back to thecan of the
Apostles. It is found in the Canon of the Mass where he
is called Thaddeus.
Cousin of Jesus
Devotion to Blessed Virgin Mary will be ever new
and strong simply because she is the Mother of God. Nor
will piety toward St. Joseph ever lessen, because he is
the foster-father of Jesus. Devotion to St. Jude Thaddeus.

reason:he is also closely associated with our Blessed Lord
by blood relationshi p. This singular privilege came to hi m
through Saints Jonchim and Ann, the parents of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. Ocing n grand-nephew of these
saints he is at once a nephew of Mary and Joseph whtch,
of course, places him in the relationship of cousin to Our
Lord Himself. Nearness to Christ is always a valuable
and indispensable asset to n saint, but when it is the
nearness of family relationship to the Savior of mankind,
then is one sharply rnovcd 111 endear himself to that saint.
Apostle nnd Sncrcd Wrllct
St. Jude wus son ofCieophas and
Mary ofCicophns. II" muthcr hruus ht him up in piery
and mnocence. both ofwluch were fostered and increased
by the example of Chris!. ' J his cxumplc was before him
even in his boyhood li1r '" cousin of the Savior, he
must have frequentl y UhSOC: intcd with I lim. What the life
of St. Jude Thaddeus up to the time of the call to the
apostleship is not known. but this nruch is certain that
when the divi ne invitmion wos cxh;nded to him he not
only accepted it, but never foro moment did he allow his
zeal as an apostle to cool. It was zeal and zenI alone which
eventually brought to him the much coveted reward of
martyrdom. He was not only an apostle but also one of
the sacred writers. His work is known as "The Epistl e of
St. Jude." Although only a very brief work of twenty-five
verses, the shortest writing of the New Testament. "The
Epistle of St. Jude." is remarkable for its strength and
dignity. Most of its contents is well adapted to the present
time, for the heresies and immoralities of those days are
rampant today. It was against these things that St. Jude
Thaddeus wrote. He closes his Epistle with admonitions
for the Christians. It seems also that he was one of the
last apostles to die. He implies this when he says: "Be
4
mindful of the words which have been spoken before by
the Apostles." The name of Jude conveys the idcn of
praise and Thaddeus, according to St. Jerome,
His Name
Proper names, in the early history of mankind, were
used not only to designate a certain person but were onen
expressive of ttaits peculiar to that person. The several
names ascribed to St. Jude Thaddeus explain the success
that attended his apostolate. Saints Matthew and Mark
call him Thaddeus. St. Luke in his Gospel and in the
Acts of theApostles calls himJude, the brother of James,
which name St. Jude Thaddeus, calls hi mself in his
Epistle. The name of Jude conveys the idea of praise and
Thaddeus, according to St. Jerome, means a man of more
than ordinary knowledge of the things of God. It also
means sweetness and gentleness of character. A man
endowed with these characteristics may truthfull y call
himself the "Servant of Jesus Christ." With praise of God
on his lips and knowledge of Him in his heart, wi th
gentleness of character, what an apostle he must have
made!
His Miracles
St. Jude Thaddeus is generally shown with an image
of our Lord upon his breast. The tradition is that when
the fame of Christ's miracles had reached the king of
Edessa (in which country St. Jude Thaddeus preached
and established the Church), the king who was afflicted
with leprosy sent a messenger to our Lord begging him
to come and heal him. When the unfortunate king learned
that he could not expect Christ to come to him he sent an
artist to Jerusalem that he might at least get a portrait of
the Master. On seeing Christ, the poor art ist was so
5
j
......
-I, .

.
-
blinded by the divine brightness of His face that he was
unable to draw even a line. Jesus moved with compassion
and wishing to console the afflicted king, held a cloth to
His face leaving thereon His own image. He then gave it
to the poor artist tell ing him to carry it back to his ruler,
at the same time promising to send someone to cure him.
St. Jude Thaddeus was sent by Christ to perform the
miracle. When St. Jude Thaddeus arrived he was
immediately recognized. His first words of greeting to
the king were: "Thou hast faith in the Lord Jesus:
therefore, He sent me." St. Jude Thaddeus then laid his
hand upon the king and the leprosy vanished immediately
and completely. h is related that so great were the miracles
St. Jude Thaddeus wrought that not only the kingdom of
Edessa were converted to the cause of Christ. This is the
traditional explanmion of the miniature of Christ on the
breast of St. Jude Thaddeus. The details of St. Jude's life
after the dispersal o f the apostle from Jerusalem are
matters solely of tradition and there is no intent to present
them otherwise.
Defender of t he Faith
His labors in Persia give some idea of the difficulties
which were so often encountered in his ministry. This
country was overrun with magicians who employed their
arts to deceive the simple and foster pagan superstition.
It was necessary that these impostors be exposed once
and for all. St. Jude Thaddeus always found traces of two
special agents of Satan who went before him trying to
poison the minds of the people against him and therefore
forestall the efficacy of his work. Their names were Zaroes
and Arfaxat, skilled magicians, who by their trickery
sought to dupe the ignorant into a belief in the power of
pagan idols to hear and grant request. The opportunity
presented itself to make a complete exposure of the work
6
of these magici!ins. God gave a special power to St Jude
Thaddeus. In h1s presence and at his command the
were forced to speak and to confess the one true God.
Then the demons inhabiting the idols were ordered to
leave and in_ so doing the idols fell to the ground and
broken mto amid a howl of infernal mgc.
But ll was the mag1c1ans the Saint was anxious to meet
face to_ fac7 that might bring them to the j ustice of God.
On mformed that they were in the camp of the
Perstan army, St. Jude Thaddeus lost no time in gaini nl?
entrance to the camp. Verardach, the commander in-chief,
ordered St. Jude Thaddeus to advance and make known
his mission. Fearless cried out: "We serve Jesus Christ,
and have come to bnng you eternal fi fe if you abandon
your errors and your worship of the gods." It was a bold
assertion to in the camp of an enemy, but the
commander was mterested, owing to the fact that he had
already heard of the fall of the pagan idols at the Saint's
command. The commander promised to hear more of
the mission of the Saint once the impending battle was
Anxious to know the outcome of the battle a nd
thmkmg that perhaps the Saint might enlighten him he
lost no time in approaching St. Jude Thaddeus on the
subject. The Saint commanded the idols to make reply
to the question. The answer came back that the war would
be long and tedious with great losses on both sides. At
th1s answer the commander was very much disturbed.
Th.en the apostle with great joy exclaimed: "Fear not. Oh
Pnnce, thy g<?ds li_e! Tomorrow at this very hour
ambassadors w1ll amve. from the enemy's camp asking
terms of they w11l accept all the conditions you
prop<?se and. Will become subj ects." So completely
was his prom1se fulfilled that 11 was only the intercession
of St. Jude Thaddeus that kept the two wicked magicians
from being burned at the stake.

His Martyrdom
Throughout his entire ministry St. Jude Thaddeus
was subject to all sorts of persecution and suffering. Our
Lord predicted this very thing concerning His apostle.
Notwithstanding his great success it must be remembered
that he at all times had to deal with hard people, a people
steeped in immorality. They were loath to surrender evil
habits sanctioned by a custom of long standing. But the
acceptance of Christianity meant new customs opposed
to old customs, hence the doctrine of All-pure Christ was
offensive to their pagan ears. It was this very thing that
was to bring about his martyrdom, and those unwilling
to embrace the new doctrine waited impatiently for the
day when vengeance could be meted out to him. The
eventful day came, a day of victory for the enemies, but a
day of great joy for St. Jude Thaddeus, now that the
coveted prize was within reach. It is a' custom of the
Church to represent her martyrs in art with the instrument
of torture that made possible their winning the crown of
eternal glory. So we have St. Jude Thaddeus represented
with a club in his hand, for it was with this weapon that
he was put to death. Tradition tells that afier death his
head was severed from his body with a broad-ax. The
church assures her children that his pure soul winged its
way heavenward immediately afier his martyrdom and
that his name was wrinen in leners of gold in the Book of
Life.
His Relics
His holy relics now lie in the great basilica of St.
Peter in Rome. Pope Paul III, in a brief dated September
22, 1548, granted a plenary indulgence to all who would
visit the tomb of St. Jude Thaddeus on his feast day, the
day of his death, October 28. This is a very significant
8
r
fact, for plenary indulgences were rarely grontcd at this
period. It is a proof that his power (iod
must have been great. All the saints have power Wit h God
since they are the special friends of God, but the fact
cannot be denied that some have been permitted to mokc.:
their influence with God more visible than others. The
reason for this rests with God alone. The history of St .
Jude Thaddeus, both as to his life upon earth and his
relation to his clients now, proves that God hn:t
vouchsafed him an extraordinary power in cases most
desperate. It is especially in difficult cases that his
wonderful help appears. Thousands have implored his aid
and have received extraordinary a.Qswers to their prayers.
Venerable Columba, a Dominican nun, was most devoted
to St. Jude Thaddeus and she saw many a petition of grave
and serious nature granted through his intercession.
Another client among the saints was none other than the
great St., Bernard. During his entire he never
to invoke St. Jude Thaddeus when tnals and temptatiOns'
surrounded him. When saint calls upon saint sinners...
should take courage and direct ion. Even though
difficulty be a malady defying all human skill, even
though it be a sickness for which there is no apparent
remedy, even though it be anguish and distress of
heart, poverty, misery or even desparr, St. Jude
cousin of Jesus will show a way out of the trouble, 1f 1t be
according to the will of God. There is no problem so i:
perplexing for which St. Jude Thaddeus. "Patron of
Desperate Cases," cannot find a solution, thereby
bringing joy and gladness to the heart.
Devotion to St. J ude
Many are the ways of gaining the favor of St. Jude
Thaddeus. Some clients approach by making a weekly
Holy Hour at the Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus. Others

make Novenas in his honor by ass isting at Mass and
receiving Holy Communion on nine consecutive days.
Still others invoke him dail y. It matters not the method
used to obtain St. Jude Thaddeus' intercession just so
one proves himself worthy of di vine favor. St. Jude, pray
for all who invoke thy aid! Help of the hopeless, aid them
in their distress! Forgotten of Saints, forget not them who
come to thee for help!
THE EPISTLE OF ST. JUDE
This Epistle was written between the year 62 and
67 A. D. as has been concluded from the text of the Epistl e
itself. It was occasioned by the teachings and practices
of certain heretics within the Church and is a warning to
them. After an Introduction (vv. 1-4), t he fi rst section
(vv. 5-19) may be described as a warni ng against fal se
teachers. The second section (vv. 24-25}, Conclusion.

7. Just as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the
neighboring cities which like them committed
sins of immorality and practised unnatural vice
have been made an example, undergoing the
punishment of eternal fire.
8. In like manner as these men also defi le the

The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 3:
"/ found it necessary to write to you,
exhorting you to contend earnestly for
the faith once for all delivered to the
saints. "
L. 0 my Redeemer, has that terrible hour
come upon us in which there remain but few
Christians animated by the spirit of faith, that
moment in which Thy just wrath will withdraw
Thy protection from us? Have the vices, the evil
habits of our age at last irrevocably moved Thy
justice to vengeance?
A. 0 Author and Perfecter of our faith, I we
entreat Thee I in the bitterness of our contrite heart
I not to permit the beautiful light of faith I to be
extinguished in us. I Recall Thy former mercies, I
cast a compassionate glance on the vine I which
Thou hast planted with Thy right hand I and which
was watered I by the sweat of the apostles, I
irrigated by the precious blood of thousands I and
16
thousands of martyrs I and by the tears of so many
noble peqitents, I and fructified by !he. prayers 1 of
so many mnocent confessors and v1rgms.
L. Divine Mediator, l9ok upon those
zealous souls who, raising themselves incessant ly
to Thee, pray for the support of our most precious
treasure, the true faith. Arrest, 0 just God, the
sentence of our rejection; turn away thy glance from
our vices and fix it on the adorable Blood which
purchased our salvation when shed on the Cross
and daily begs it for us on our altars.
A. We beseech Thee, I preserve us in the
true Catholic faith. I Sin afflicts us, I
disappointments consume us, I misfortunes oppress
us I but preserve Thy holy faith in us I because
enriched with this precious gift, I we will wi llingly
bear every pain I and will let nothing alter our
happiness. I On the contrary, I without the supreme
treasure of the faith I our misfortune wi II be
unspeakable and immense .
L. 0 good Jesus, Author of our fa i th,
preserve it pure in us; keep us firm in the bark of
Peter, faithful and obedient to his successor and
Thy vicar here on earth so that the unity of Holy
Church may be preserved, sanctity promoted, the
Apostolic See free and protected and the universal
Church extended for the benefit of souls.

The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 6:
" And the angels also who did not preserve
their original state, but forsake their abode,

ness for the judgement of the great day. "
L. Saint Michael the Archangel , defend us
in the battle, that we perish not in the fearful
judgement.
A. Saint Michael, I first champion of the
Kingship of Christ, I pray for us.
L. 0 Jesus! li fe-spring of the soul!
The Father 's Power and Glory bright!
Thee with the Angels we extol;
From Thee they draw their li fe and light.

A. Thy thousand, thousand hosts arc sprend,
Embatted o' er the azure sky; I
But Michael bears Thy standard dread, I
And lifts the mighty Cross on high.
L. He in that sign the rebel powers
Did with their dragon prince expel
And hurled them from the heaven's
high towers,
Down li ke a thunderbolt to hell.
A. Grant us with Michael still, 0 Lord, I
Against the Prince of pride to fight ; I
So may a crown be our reward, I
Before the Lamb's pure throne of light.
L. To God the Father and the Son and
Holy Paraclete to Thee,
A. As evermore hath been before, I Be glory
through eternity. Amen.
L. 0 glorious Prince of the heavenly host,
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle
and in the fearful warfare that we are waging against
the principalities and powers, against the rulers of
this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come
thou to the assistance of men, whom Almighty God
created immortal, making them in His own image
and likeness and redeeming them at a great price
from the tyranny of Satan.

A. Fight this day the battle of the Lord I with
thy legions of holy Angels, I even as of old thou
didst fight against Lucifer, I the leader of the proud
spirits I and all his rebel angels, I who were
powerless to stand against thee, I neither was their
place found any more in heaven. I And that apostate
angel, I transformed into an angel of darkness I
who still creeps about the earth I to encompass our
ruin, 1 was cast headlong into the abyss I together
with his followers.
L. But behold, that first enemy of mankind
and a murderer from the beginning, has regained
his confidence. Changing himself into an angel of
light, he goes about with the whole multitude of
the wicked spirits to invade the earth and blot out
the Name of God and of His Christ, to plunder, .to
slay and to consign to eternal damnation the souls
that have been destined for a crown of everlasting
life, This wicked serpent, like an unclean torrent,
pours into men of depraved minds and corrupt
hearts the poison of his malice, the spirit of lying,
impiety and blasphemy, and the deadly breath of
impurity of every form of vice and iniquity.
A. These crafty enemies of mankind I have
filled to overflowing I with gall and wormwood
the Church, I which is the Bride of the Lamb
without spot: I they have laid profane hands I upon
her most sacred treasures. I Make haste, therefore,
20
I 0 invincible Prince, I to help the people of God I
against the inroads of the lostspirits I and grant us
the victory. Amen.
The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 7:
" ... as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the
neighboring cities which like them comm/fl(d
sins of immorality and practiced wmatura/
vices have been made an example undergoing
the punishment of eternal fire. "
L. 0 good Jesus, I know that every perfect
gift and, above all others, that of chastity depends
on the powerful action of Thy divine Providence; I
know that without Thee a creature can do nothing.
A. This is why I beseech Thee to defend, I
by Thy grace, I the purity of my soul and of my
body. I And ifl have ever received any impression
I whatsoever of a senti e n ~ I capable of soi li ng
this ineffable virtue, I do Thou, 0 supreme Master
of my faculties, I blot it out from my soul I that
with a clean heart I I may advance in Thy love and
in Thy service I offering myself chaste a lithe days
of my life I on the most pure altar of Thy di vinity.
It is the Cross that I adore. I The Cross of the Lord
is with me. I The Cross is my refuge.

L. Jesus, Lover of chastity, Mary Mother
most pure, and Joseph, chaste guardian of the
Virgin, to you I come at this hour, begging you to
plead with God for me.
A. I earnestly wish I to be pure in thought,
word, and deed I in imitation of your own holy
purity. I Obtain for me, then, I a deep sense of
modesty I which will be reflected I in my external
conduct. I Protect my eyes, I the windows of my
soul, I from anything that might dim the luster of a
heart I that must mirror only Christlike purity. 1
And when the ' 'Bread of angels I becomes the Bread
of men" I in my heart at Holy Communion, I seal
it forever I against the suggestions of sinful
pleasures. I Heart of Jesus, I Fountain of all purity,
I have mercy on us.
L. Confirm me, 0 God, by the grace ofThy
Holy Spirit. Grant me power to be strengthened in
the inner man, and to cast out of my heart aU unclean
thoughts not to be drawn away with various desires
but to view all things as passing away, and myself
also as passing with them. For nothing is lasting
under the sun, where all is vanity and affliction of
spirit. Oh, how wise is he who judges in this way.
A. Grant me, 0 Lord, I celestial wisdom, I
that I may learn above all things I to seek Thee and to
find Thee I above all things to relish Thee and to
22
love Thee, I and o understand all other things as
they are, I accordmg to the order of Thy wisdom.
Grant that I may prudently avoid 1 all impure
temptation I and patiently endure those I cannot
avoid, I resisting :to the end I by the power of Thy
Grace. Amen.
The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 10:
"But these men deride whatever they do not
know and the things they know by instinct like
the dumb beasts become for them a source of
destruction. "

A. By thine intercession, I 0 Mother of
fruitful studies, I may the Holy Spirit I fill my
spirit with light and fortitude, I prudence and
humility; I may He give me goodwill, intelligence,
memory and ability in sufficient measure, I and
above all, I a spirit of docility both in mind and

to the counsels of divine Wisdom.
L. Defend me, good Mother, againts the
spirit of pride and presumption, of vain curiosity

stumbling, from all erroneous opinion, and from
all things that might corrupt my faith and disturb
the clearness of my understanding, the purity of
my heart and the peace of my soul.
A. Grant, 0 Mary, I that unde r thy
protection, I I may ever be submi ssive to the
directions and teachings of Holy Church, my
mother, I and may advance in the way of truth and
virtue I surely, courageously and without wavering;
at length may I attain I to the knowledge the love

thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 20:
"But as for you, Beloved, build up yourselves
upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy
Spirit. "
L. 0 Holy Spirit, who on the solemn day of
Pentecost didst suddenly descend upon the Apostles
gathered in the Upper Room in_ parted as it
were of fire and didst so enlighten their mmds,
inflame their hearts, and strengthen their wills that
28
'
I
henceforth they went through the entire world And
courageous ly and confi dentl y procla imud
everywhere the teaching of Christ and scaled it
with shedding of their blood, renew, we beseech
thee, the wondrous outpouring ofThy grace in our
hearts also.
A How grievously I our minds are afflicted
with ignorance I concerning the nature I and dignity
of those divine truths 1 which form the object of
faith, 1 without which no man may hope _for
salvation. I How far men go astray I from a JUSt
estimation of earthly goods, I which too often are
put before the soul itself. I How often our hearts
do not beat I with love of the Creator as they ought, I
but rather with an ignoble lust for creatures. How
often are we led I by a false respect for human
judgement, I when we ought to profess openly the
precepts of Jesus Christ I and to reduce them to
action 1 with a sincere heart and with the loss, if
need be, 1 of our worldly substance. I
weakness we manifest in embracing I and carrymg
with a serene and willing heart I the crosses of thi s
life, 1 which alone can make the Chri stian I a
worthy follower of his divine Master.
L. 0 Holy Spirit, enlighten our minds, cleanse
our hearts, and give new strength to our wills; to such
a degree, at least, that we may clearly recognize the
value of our soul , and in like manner, despise
29
J

~
the perishable goods of this world, that we may love
God above all things and for the love of Him, our
neighbor as ourselves; that we may not only be free
from fear in professing our faith publicly, but rather
may glory in it; finally, that we may accept not only
prosperity but also adversity as from the hand of
the Lord, with all confidence that He will tum all
things into good for those who lovingly tend
towards Him. Grant, we beseech Thee, that we, by
constantly answering the sweet impulses of Thy
g race and doing that which is good wi th a
persevering heart, may deserve one day to receive
the rich reward of g lory everlasting. Amen.
The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 21:
"Keep yourselves in the love of God. "
L. I love Thee, 0 Jesus, who are perfect
charity; who in Thine essence art true God and true
man; in whom are contained the treasures of the
Divinity and all the fullness of grace which descends
to us upon this earth.
A. I love Thee, I dear Jesus, I who for love
of me I hast made Thyself like unto me; I enkindle
within me I the flame of Thy sacred love, I which
Thou didst bring from heaven, I that loving Thee,
I may grow into Thy likeness.
30
L. I love Thee, divine Jesus, my Lord and
Master, because Thou has redeemed and freed me,
poor slave of sin, by Thy Precious Blood. Of Thy
sweet mercy, grant that I may enjoy the full fruit of
Thy Redemption.
A. 0 sweetest Jesus I I implore that I I moy
love Thee more and more!
L. Most loving Redeemer, at Thy departure
from this world Thou didst not wish to leave us
orphans. In Thy compassionate love Thou didst
institute the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar,
wherein Thou hast given us Thyself in order to draw
our hearts to Thee and enrich us with the plentitude
of Thy graces. In this sacred mystery it is Thy desire
to hear our prayers and to be our refuge in e v e ~
need, our support in all difficulties, our comfort 111
every affliction.
A. Thou art wonderful, I 0 Lord, I in all
Thy works, 1but in none more wonderful I than in
the Sacrament of Thy love. With deepest reverence
and awe I we behold the divine Maj esty, I whom
heaven and earth cannot contain, I enclosed under
the humble appearance of bread. Here the Creator
and Ruler of the entire universe I condescends to
dwell with the children of men I and invites the poor
and needy to come to Him.
31

.
....
L. 0 Jesus, our Advocate, both High Priest
and Lamb of God forever, it was for our redemption
and sanctification that Thou didst offer Thyself upon
the altar of the Cross. In Thy boundless love Thou
didst desire that this sacrifice of salvation should
be daily renewed throughout the entire until
the end of time that through the ments of Thy
Passion we may obtain the forgiveness of our sins
and be filled with Thy grace and blessing.
A. In every place I there is a sacrifice I and
there is offered to My name I a clean oblation. The
holy Mass is our only means of worthily
and thanking our heavenly Father. Through this
sacrifice 1 the divine justice is unceasingly honored
and appeased I and the treasures of grace are opened
to us. 1 0 God, I how impenetrable is Thy wisdom I
how infinite Thy power I how boundless Thy
goodness and love!
The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 23:
" ... but others, save, snatching them from
thefire."
L. Ask what Thou wilt, 0 dearest Lord,
Nothing will we deny;
But only give us countless souls
For Thee before we die.
32
A. Let others pray about themselves, /
Thy grace leads many ways; I
Give us souls, I ' tis thus
Thy Spirit in us prays.
L. A life-long sorrow, if thou wilt,
And sharp enduring pain;
All, all were light, if souls for Thee
Might be the precious gain.
A. Tears will be sweet, I for Thou has wept,/
And blood, I if needs must be; I
No cost too great to purchase souls, I
0 dearest Lord for Thee.
L. Whatever be the price, 0 Lord,
This grace to us impart
A. Souls from the world I and sin set free, I
Souls for Thy Sacred Heart.
L. Eternal God, Creator of all things,
remember that the soul s of infid.els been
created by Thee and formed to Thme own Image
and likeness.
A. Behold, 0 Lord, I how to Thy dishonor I
hell is being filled with these same souls. Remember
that Jesus Christ, 1 Thine only Son, I has suffered a
most cruel death 1 for their Salvation. Do not
33
\
permit, I we beseech Thee, 0 Lord, I that Thy
divine Son be despised any longer by infidels, I but
rather be Thou appeased I by the prayers of Thy
saints I and of the Church the most holy spouse of
Thy Son, I and vouchsafe to be mindful of Thy
mercy. Forget their idolatry and infidelities I bring
them also to know Him I whom Thou didst.send, I
Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, I who is our health,
life, and resurrection I through whom we have been
redeemed and saved, I to whom be all glory forever.

PRAYER BEFORE LIGHTING THE CANDLE
Father in heaven
The light of Jesus
Has dispersed the darkness
Of hatred and sin
Accept this candel
And let the light your truth
Guide me to your kingdom
Inflame my heart with your grace
Keep me in the radiance of your truth
Fill my heart with your divine love
And please help me in my needs
(mention your petition)
Grant this
Through Christ our Lord and thru the
Intercession of St. Jude Thaddeus
Amen
Our Father Hail Mary Glory Be
