St. John the Apostle Novena

St. John the Apostle Novena is a nine-day devotion dedicated to St. John the Apostle, one of Jesus’ closest disciples. It provides a way to focus on praying to St. John and seeking his intercession with God for specific needs or intentions.

St. John is venerated for his unique closeness to Jesus. He was the youngest disciple, known for his love and purity. He witnessed many key events in Jesus’ life, including the Last Supper, Crucifixion, and Resurrection. He’s also credited with writing the Gospel of John and several letters in the New Testament.

Remember, the most important aspect of the novena is your personal intention and commitment to prayer. Approach it with a sincere heart and open yourself to God’s grace through the intercession of St. John the Apostle.

Saint Jude Novena: Day 1

Why Pray to Saint Jude?

A bit of background about Saint Jude. Saint Judas Thaddeus was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. He is often referred to as the “patron saint of lost causes” and the “patron saint of the impossible.”

A cousin of Jesus, Saint Jude was born in Galilee and was a brother of James the Less, another apostle. Although not much is known about his life, he is mentioned in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke as well as the Acts of the Apostles. Saint Jude is traditionally depicted as a young man with a beard, carrying a club or a staff. He is often accompanied by a flame, which represents the Holy Spirit.

Saint Jude is invoked by many people who are facing difficult or hopeless situations and is also invoked by people who are seeking lost items or people.

Consider praying to Saint Jude for any reason, including:

Asking for help with a difficult or hopeless situation.
Asking for help making a difficult decision.
Asking for help overcoming a personal challenge.
Asking for help finding peace and comfort.
Asking for help praying for someone else.

The feast day of Saint Jude is October 28.
