Faith!

I have found this one very effective. I got exempted from an exam in which I did not review in and I believe this saved me from failing the subject. Had I not been exempted, I would have messed up the final examination which would have accounted for 40% of my final grade. I also use this prayer in situations when I start to lose hope and this gives me reasons to have faith on the Great Planner up there.. =p

There's nothing wrong if you'd try too.

Prayer to St. Jude

To be said when problems arise or when one seems to be deprived of all visible help, or for cases almost despaired of.

Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, this church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of the hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so hopeless and alone. Make use, I implore you of that particular privilege given to you to bring speedy help where help is most despaired of. Come to my assistance in this need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly (here make your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, o blessed St. Jude, to be mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you, Amen.

Novena prayer must be said six times each for nine consecutive days leaving nine copies in church each day. Prayer will be answered on or before the ninth day and has never known to fail.

Novena Prayer

May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored and loved in all tabernacles until the end of time, Amen.

May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be praised and glorified now and forever, Amen.

St. Jude, pray for us and hear our prayers, Amen.

Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Blessed be St. Jude Thaddeus in all the world and for all eternity.

(Say this prayer followed by Our Father and Hail Mary)

Make eighty-one copies and leave nine copies in church for each consecutive nine days. You will receive your intention on or before the nine days are over no matter how impossible it may seem. Pray with love and faith.

jaypee! Actually, the break from the busy life has left me pondering about religion and that kinda stuff again. -_- I won't divulge, since it's quite uninteresting. Everything in my life is a transition, LOL.

Anyway! wow glad to know that you'll finally be able to take the thesis subject next sem by passing this one! Woot, kudos!

Ahaha, thanks! We miss you. Anyway, after graduation is really a big change. I am excited for you. I know you'll do good in your culinary.

Sometimes we have to embrace change so that we don't get locked up in the past. But letting go of the past with no memory left for you to cherish is foolish because you won't remember the lessons you were taught in experiencing stuff in your past.

Sana meriendahan na. See you! =p
