Prayer to St. Jude for Lent
St. Jude, walk with me this Lent. Open my heart to the wisdom of God in His Word, and give me the strength to share that wisdom with others. Through this time of reflection, may I arrive at Easter energized to celebrate Christ’s Resurrection and more ready than ever to receive God’s love. Amen.
