Saint Jude, as we enter the new year, I pray for my family to leave behind all the trials and tribulations we experienced in 2024 and not carry them into 2025. I pray that my daughter receives an opportunity for an interview at JP Morgan Bank or Apple Bank for the positions she has been hoping for in 2025. Amen.

Saint Jude, my granddaughter, is experiencing so much animosity and tension at college that she’s being singled out by three coaches who strongly resent her for some unforeseen reason. My prayer for my granddaughter is that she’s blessed with wisdom, knowledge, and the insight to understand that she’s protected by our Lord and Savior, who will prevent her tormentors from continuously physically and mentally abusing her while she’s attending college. Bless her with the knowledge that she will arise from her tormentors with our Lord and Savior’s blessings. Amen.

Saint Jude, please watch over my grandson, who is facing many difficulties in his life after being abandoned by his father at a young age. He truly needed love, guidance, and support during that time. Please help him learn how to become a productive young man in society and lead a fulfilling life. My grandson is feeling lost and is walking down a dark and dangerous path. He has seemingly lost all interest in his schoolwork and after-school activities and is now more consumed with playing on his Xbox and watching videos on YouTube. Saint Jude, I pray that you bless my grandson and help him find relief from the pain and suffering caused by his father’s abandonment. Help him understand that there is life after this painful experience. Amen.

I ask for blessings for my other daughter, who is suffering from diabetes. May she learn to educate herself about managing her condition and be able to eat at least three healthy meals daily to combat devastating weight loss. May she be blessed with maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Amen.

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, I place my grandchildren and daughters in your care. Pray for them and help them remember they are not alone in their struggles. Amen.

St. Jude blesses the granddaughter for being selected to work at State Farm Inc. as an intern and, hopefully, for being hired permanently by the company. Amen.

St. Jude blesses my grandson with being selected and given a scholarship to attend the new all-boys Catholic school he has applied for and will attend from August 2025 to May 2029. Amen.

St. Jude blesses my daughter, who hopes to be selected for a position that will be posted in her current branch. She has chosen the position and is granted the salary she deserves, given her extensive knowledge and experience gained from working in the field. Amen.

St. Jude blesses my other daughter’s job with safety and the assurance of not worrying about losing her income or employment. Amen.

St. Jude, with all the budget cuts and so many of God’s children who have lost their jobs and income that used to afford them the opportunity to provide for their families due to what’s happening in today’s current President’s administration who are in power and are disrupting so many families’ lives, bless and watch over all of God’s children who have been affected by losing their jobs. Amen.

Please join me in asking God to send them hope in their sorrow, courage in their fear, and healing in their challenges. Please ask our loving God to give them the grace to accept whatever life holds and to strengthen their faith in His healing power. Amen.

Thank you, St. Jude, for the promise of hope you hold for all who believe, and for inspiring me to give this gift of hope to others. In Jesus’ name, I humbly pray. Amen.
