St Jude, patron saint of hopelessness and lost causes, I pray to you to ease my employment and financial concerns. I would like to spend some quality time with my family and not worry about either my health or my daughters. I would like to have a home of our own where my children and grandchildren can visit and relax. I’ll like to have financial security so I can volunteer and assist others that are experiencing difficulties and ill health. I try to be patient, but sometimes I wonder whether I will have the time to achieve the things that I want. Please St Jude assist me in my hour of need, praise and thanks for all you have done for me and others. Amen.
