Dear St. Jude,

Please intercede on behalf of my grown daughter. I don’t know exactly what to ask for, because I cannot change the past. Perhaps intercede for peace, happiness, and goodness. I also pray that she will connect with my family. It is heartbreaking. I know it’s my fault. I have faith that healing can take place, with your intercession.

Please also intercede for me that, despite my sadness about this, I can move forward to be a good force in the world. I am stuck in the past. I know God wants me to be better in the future, and I will try.

Thank you for interceding now and for past intercessions.
