The prayer for a miracle

This is a prayer for a miracle or difficult matter

St. Jude Novena

St. Jude, I resort to your protection and in my prayers, I offer thee this light which I shall burn every Thursday. Comfort me in my difficulties and through thy lodgings in the house of the Savior, intercede for me in my necessities. I beseech thee St. Jude, to have pity in regards to the favor I ask thee (NAME/FAVOR) that I may be able to overcome all difficulties as thou dist the dragon that was at your feet. Say three (3) " Our Fathers " three (3) " Hail Mary's " and three (3) "Glory Be's."

This Novena is said nine Thursdays in succession. Every Thursday a candle should be lighted and a copy of this prayer left in church to help another soul in distress and support the devotion to St. Jude.

This miraculous Saint grants everything no matter how difficult and before the termination of the ninth Thursday, your prayers will be granted.

Brown Scapular

"Whosoever Dies Clothed in This (Scapular) Shall Not Suffer Eternal Fire" This is Mary's Promise made July 16, 1251 to St. Simon Stock.

Which means, if you live or lived a questionable life in the eyes of God, this will save you from eternal fire (Hell). Now you believe what you want to, it is your call. I wear mine every day, for tomorrow is not ours to claim.

"Immaculate Heart of Mary Pray for Us"
St. Alphonsus says: Just as men take pride in having others wear their livery, so the Most Holy Mary is pleased when Her servants wear Her Scapular as a mark that they have dedicated themselves to Her service and are members of the family of the Mother of God."

True Devotion to Mary
CONSISTS IN THREE THINGS
Veneraion LOVE Confidence

Without saying to Mary that we venerate Her, love and trust Her, we tell Her these things every moment of the day by simply waering the Scapular.

The scapular is then a Prayer!
Our Lord, taught us to say the "Our Father". Mary taught us the value of the Scapular. When we use it as a prayer. Our Lady draws us to the Sacred Heart of Her Divine Son. It is well, therefore, to hold the Scapular in the hand while addressing Our Lady.

The Morning Offering
O my God in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary (here kiss your Scapular as a sign of your consecration; partial indulgence also), I offer the precious Blood of Jesus from all the alters throughout the world, joining it with the offering of my every thought, word and action of this day. O my Jesus, I desire today to gain every indulgence and merit I can and I offer them, altogether with myself, to Mary Immaculate, that She may best apply them in the interests of Most Sacred Heart. Precious Blood of Jesus, save us!

Because you love Mary's Scapular
VENERATE IT OFTEN

Pope Benedict XV granted an indulgence of 500 days each time the scapular is kissed. This Devotion and Garment can be traced back to the Old Testament, to the great prophet Elias and the remaining faithful living in caves of Mount Carmal, and is recommended to people of ALL faiths.

Attach then, great importance to your brown Scapular. It is an assurance of your salvation, just as to reject Mary's grace is to invite perdition.

"O Queen, who art the beauty of Carmel and the mediatrix of all graces, pray for us" (prayer from Racolta - may be said on your Rosary Beads)

Bishop of SpringfieldJuly 16,1941

"The Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world" is symbolized in the wool brown Scapular and is thus preferable to the medal.
