St Rita of Casia 🌸

[that-love-is-all-there-is]

it’s day 2, but I wrote this novena prayer to the Holy Innocents whose feast day is the 28th, and so I thought I’d share it here. I’ll reblog with the text written out; the image is the Blessed Virgin and Christ Child surrounded by the Holy Innocents in Heaven.

Prayer to St. Jude.

"O Glorious St. Jude Thaddeus, by those sublime privileges which so ennobled thee in thy lifetime relationship according to the flesh with our Lord Jesus Christ and the apostolate; by that glory which, as the reward of thy labors and martyrdom, thou dost now enjoy in heaven, obtain for us from the Giver of every good all the graces we need to enable us to profit greatly by that divinely inspired doctrine which thou hast handed down to us in thy Epistle: that is, to build the edifice of perfection upon the foundation of faith, praying through the grace of the Holy Spirit; to keep ourselves always in the love of God, looking for the mercy of Jesus Christ unto life everlasting: and to help by every available means those who go astray. Thus shall we exalt the glory, the majesty, the dominion, the authority of Him, who is able to preserve us without sin and keep us without blemish and in gladness unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, God our Savior. Amen."
