St. Jude Journal — February 2021

By Ashley Cady | February 4, 2021
Prayer: St. Jude, you give me the strength I need to trust in God, as I follow in prayer these words from Psalm 46: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Reflection: One of the most meaningful ways God invites us into a deeper relationship with Him is through prayer. When we accept that invitation by letting our needs be known to God and remembering to express our gratitude for prayers answered, we honor Him and our devotional prayer to St. Jude by saying “I trust you in faith and love.”

Our Solemn Novena to St. Jude is a meaningful way to respond to God’s invitation to continually deepen our relationship with Him. We hold our simple prayer, “St. Jude, pray…
