Slf. JUDE PARISH
St. Jude Parish was born on November
16, 1954. Tbis is one of the very few in
all the Philippme Islands that is dedicated to
this great patron. -\nd it is doubtlessly through
his mterce.ssion that such fine progress has
already been made. That which at first seemed
impossible has. through the Saint of the
Impossible. became a reality.
Ha\ing outgrown our small chapel it was
decided that a finine shrine must be erected in
honor of the great Patron of Hopeless Cases,
St. Jude. Therefore. on September 28, 1958
the cornerstone for the new edifice was laid
by His Eminence Ruftno J. Cardinal Santos.
From solid foundations rose foot by foot a
worthy place of offering veneration to St. Jude.
In grateful thanksgiving to St. Jude for the
many blessings bestowed on our parishioners
in the past and in petition that hts shrine be
successfully completed we have decided to
begin a perpetual novena to St. Jude. We are
well aware of the fact that not only our own
parishioners but thousands of others would also
like to join in our veneration of St. Jude.
Consequently we would like to invite YOU to
join with us m this novena.
We sincerely hope that what was begun
in our present small chapel may, through your
ardent prayers, be continued in due time in the
new shrine dedicated to St. Jude. Ifvou have a
pa1iicularly desperate case in mind we invite
you the more to give St. Jude me OiJPOrtunity
to prove himself, also in yom case. the true
Patron of the Hopeless!

. ST. JUDE THADDEUS
Forgotten
The Forgotten Saint, this is the title that is
sometimes given to Saint Jude Thaddeus. It is hard to
conceive how any saint of God could really be forgotten
by men, yet it may be explained by a certain confusion
of names. No doubt it was by reason of the shameful
treason of another Jude, Judas Iscariot, that the name of
a glorious apostle and martyr has suffered the
forgetfulness of men. At all times, therefore in this short
sketch of our patron's life will be called, not simply St.
Jude, but St. Jude Thaddeus. Today more than ever is the
power of St. Jude Thaddeus being revived in the minds
and the hearts of men. He, in turn, is proving himself
more than an ordinary advocate by, apparently, taking
special delight in coming to the aid of persons in desperate
need. Therefore, he is known as the "Patron in Desperate
Cases." Although the name, St. Jude Thaddeus, has been
neglected in the devotions of men it is nevertheless one
of the oldest names in the calendar of the Church. It has
the sanction of antiquity dating back to the call of the
Apostles. It is found in the Canon of the Mass where he
. is called Thaddeus.
Cousin of Jesus
Devotion to Blessed Virgin Mary will be ever new
and strong simply because she is the Mother of God. Nor
will piety toward St. Joseph ever lessen, because he is
the foster-father of Jesus. Devotion to St. Jude Thaddeus.
once it is known, should appeal to all for a similar
3
reason:he is also closely associated with our Blessed Lord
by blood relationship. This singular privi lege came to him
through Saints Joachim and Ann, the parents of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. Being a grand-nephew of these two
sainrs he is at once a nephew of Mary and Joseph which,
of course, places him in the relationship of cousin to Our
Lord Himself. Nearness to Christ is always a valuable
and indispensable asset to a saint, but when it is the
nc.amess of family relationship to the Savior of mankind,
then is ooe sharply moved to endear himself to that saint.
Sacred Writer
St. Jude Thaddeus was the son of Cleophas and
.\lary ofCleophas. His mother brought him up in piety
and i.nnoc:ence. bodi of which were fostered and increased
by the of Christ. This example was before him
e\en in his boyhood days. for as cousin of the Savior, he
must have frequently associated with Him. What the life
of St. Jude Thaddeus was up to the time of the call to the
apostleship is not known, but this much is certain that
when the divine invitation was extended to him he not
only accepted it, but never for a moment did he allow his
zeal as an apostle to cool. It was zeal and zeal alone which
eventually brought to him the much coveted reward of
martyrdom. He was not only an apostle but also one of
the sacred writers. His work is known as "The Epistle of
St. Jude." Although only a very brief work of twenty-five
verses, the shortest writing of the New Testament. "The
Epistle of St. Jude." is remarkable for its strength and
dignity. Most of its contents is well adapted to the present
time, for the heresies and immoralities of those days are
rampant today. It was against these things that St. Jude
Thaddeus wrote. He closes his Epistle with admonitions
for the Christians. It seems also that he was one of the
last apostles to die. He implies this when be :says: '-Be
4
mindful of the words which have been spoken before by
the Apostles." The name of Jude conveys the idea of
praise and Thaddeus, according to St. Jerome,
His Name
Proper names, in the early history of mankind, were
used not only to designate a certain person but were often
expressive of traits peculiar to that person. The several
names ascribed to St. Jude Thaddeus explain the success
that attended his apostolate. Saints Matthew and Mark
call him Thaddeus. St. Luke in his Gospel and in the
Acts of the Apostles calls him Jude, the brother of James,
which name St. Jude Thaddeus, calls himself in his
Epistle. The name of Jude conveys the idea of praise and
Thaddeus, according to St. Jerome, means a man of more
than ordinary knowledge of the things of God. It also
means sweetness and gentleness of character. A man
endowed with these characteristics may truthfully call
himself the "Servant of Jesus Christ." With praise of God
on his lips and knowledge of Him in his heart, with
gentleness of character, what an apostle he must have
made!
His Miracles
St. Jude Thaddeus is generally shown with an image
of our Lord upon his breast. The tradition is that when
the fame of Christ's miracles had reached the king of
Edessa (in which country St. Jude Thaddeus preached
and established the Church), the king who was afflicted
with leprosy sent a messenger to our Lord begging him
to come and heal him. When the unfortunate king learned
that he could not expect Christ to come to him he sent an
artist to Jerusalem that he might at least get a portrait of
the Master. On seeing Christ, the poor artist was so
5
452 .- - ,..... _,.. # ..... _ ,... lQ4#P 4L A

/
"
blinded by the divine brightness of His face that he was
unable to draw even a line. Jesus moved with compassion
and wishing to console the afflicted king, held a cloth to
His face leaving thereon His own image. He then gave it
to the poor artist telling him to carry it back to his ruler,
at the same time promising to send someone to cure him.
St. Jude Thaddeus was sent by Christ to perform the
miracle. When St. Jude Thaddeus arrived he was
immediately recognized. His first words of greeting to
the king were: "Thou hast faith in the Lord Jesus:
ilierefore. He sent me." St. Jude Thaddeus then laid his
i:a:d king and the leprosy vanished immediately
;zOO It is related that so great were the miracles
St. Jude Titaddeus \nought that not only the kingdom of
Edessa were coo\erted to the cause of Christ. This is the
traditional explanation of the miniature of Christ on the
breast of St Jude Thaddeus. The detai ls of St. Jude's life
after the dispersal of the apostle from Jerusalem are
matters solely of tradition and there is no intent to present
them otherwise.
Defender of the Faith
His labors in Persia give some idea of the difficulties
which were so often encountered in hi s ministry. Thi s
country was overrun with magicians who employed their
arts to deceive the si mple and foster pagan superstition.
It was necessary that these impostors be exposed once
and for all. St. Jude Thaddeus always found traces of two
special agents of Satan who went before him trying to
poison the minds of the people against him and therefore
forestall the efficacy of his work. Their names were Zaroes
and Arfaxat, skilled magicians, who by their trickery
sought to dupe the ignorant into a belief in the power of
pagan idols to hear and grant request. The opportunity
presented itself to make a complete exposure of the work
6
of these magicians. God gave a special power to St Jude
Thaddeus. In his presence and at his command the idols
were forced to speak and to confess the one true God.
Then the demons inhabiting the idols were ordered to
leave and in so doing the idols fell to the ground and
were broken into fragments amid a howl of infernal rage.
But it was the magicians the Saint was anxious to meet
face to face that might bring them to the justice of God.
On being informed that they were in the camp of the
Persian army, St. Jude Thaddeus lost no time in gaining
entrance to the camp. Verardach, the commander in-chief,
ordered St. Jude Thaddeus to advance and make known
his mission. Fearless he cried out: "We serve Jesus Christ,
and have come to bring you eternal life if you abandon
your errors and your worship of the gods." It was a bold
assertion to make in the camp of an enemy, but the
commander was interested, owing to the fact that he had
already heard of the fall of the pagan idols at the Saint's
command. The commander promised to hear more of
the mission of the Saint once the impending battle was
over. Anxious to know the outcome of the battle and
thinking that perhaps the Saint might enlighten him he
lost no time in approaching St. Jude Thaddeus on the
subject. The Saint commanded the idols to make reply
to the question. The answer came back that the war would
be long and tedious with great losses on both sides. At
this answer the commander was very much disturbed.
Then the apostle with great joy exclaimed: "Fear not. Oh
Prince, thy gods lie! Tomorrow at this very hour
ambassadors will arrive from the enemy's camp asking
terms of peace; they will accept all the conditions you
propose and will become your subjects." So completely
was his promise fulfilled that it was only the intercession
of St. Jude Thaddeus that kept the two wicked magicians
from being burned at the stake.
7
His Martyrdom
Throughout his entire ministry St. Jude Thaddeus
was subject to all sorts of persecution and suffering. Our
Lord predicted this very thing concerning His apostle.
Notwithstanding hi s great success it must be remembered
that he at all times had to deal with hard people, a people
steeped in immorality. They were loath to surrender evil
habits sanctioned by a custom of long standing. But the
acceptance of Christianity meant new customs opposed
to old customs, hence the doctrine of All-pure Christ was
offensive to their pagan ears. It was this very thing that
ro bring about hi s martyrdom, and those unwilling
to embrace rhe new doctrine waited impatiently for the
day when ' 'engeance could be meted out to him. The
eventful day came, a day of victory for the enemies, but a
day of great joy for St. Jude Thaddeus, now that the
coveted prize was within reach. It is a'custom of the
Church to represent her martyrs in art with the instrument
of torture that made possible their winning the crown of
eternal glory. So we have St. Jude Thaddeus represented
with a club in his hand, for it was with this weapon that
he was put to death. Tradition tells that after death his
head was severed from his body with a broad-ax. The
church assures her children that his pure soul winged its
way heavenward immediately after his martyrdom and
that his name was written in letters of gold in the Book of
Life.
His Relics
His holy relics now lie in the great basilica of St.
Peter in Rome. Pope Paul III, in a brief dated September
22, 1548, granted a plenary indulgence to all who would
visit the tomb of St. Jude Thaddeus on his feast day, the
day of his death, October 28. This is a very significant
8
fact, for plenary indulgences were rarely granted at this
period. It is a proof that his intercessory power with God
must have been great. All the saints have power with God
since they are the special friends of God, but the fact
cannot be denied that some have been permitted to make
their influence with God more visible than others. The
reason for this rests with God alone. The history of St.
Jude Thaddeus, both as to his life upon earth and his
relation to his clients now, proves that God has
vouchsafed him an extraordinary power in cases most
desperate. It is especially in difficult cases that his
wonderful help appears. Thousands have implored his aid
and have received extraordinary to their prayers.
Venerable Columba, a Dominican nun, was most devoted
to St. Jude Thaddeus and she saw many a petition of grave
and serious nature granted through his intercession.
Another client among the saints was none other than the
great St., Bernard. During his entire life he never cease4_..:::
to invoke St. Jude Thaddeus when trials and temptations'
surrounded him. When saint calls upon saint sinners: .
should take courage and direction. Even though the ..
difficulty be a malady defying all human ski ll , even
though it be a sickness for which there is no apparenL .
remedy, even though it be anguish of soul and distress of
heart, poverty, misery or even despair, St. Jude Thaddeus,
cousin of Jesus will show a way out of the trouble, if it be
according to the will of God. There is no problem so
perplexing for which St. Jude Thaddeus. "Patron of
Desperate Cases," cannot find a solution, thereby
bringing joy and gladness to the heart.
Devotion to St. Jude
Many are the ways of gaining the favor of St. Jude
Thaddeus. Some clients approach by making a weekly
Holy Hour at the Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus. Others
9
make Novenas in his honor by assisting at Mass and
receiving Holy Communion on nine consecutive days.
Still others invoke him daily. It matters not the method
used to obtain St. Jude Thaddeus' intercession just so
one proves himselfworthy of divine favor. St. Jude, pray
for all who invoke thy aid! Help ofthe hopeless, aid them
in their distress! Forgotten of Saints, forget not them who
come to thee for help!
THE EPISTLE OF ST. JUDE
This Epistle was written between the year 62 and
67 A.D. as bas been concluded from the text of the Epistle
itself. It was occasioned by the teachings and practices
of certain heretics within the Church and is a warning to
them. After an Introduction (vv. 1-4), the first section
(vv. 5-19) may be described as a warning against false
teachers. The second section (vv. 24-25), Conclusion.
Introduction
I. Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ and the
brother of James, who have been loved by God
the Father and preserved for Christ Jesus:
2. Mercy and peace and charity be given to

original state, but forsake their abode, he has

the judgement of the great day.
7. Just as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the
neighboring cities which like them committed
sins of immorality and practised unnatural vice
have been made an example, undergoing the
punishment of eternal fire.
8. In like manner as these men also defile the
flesh, disregard authority, deride majesty.

disputing with the devil about the body of
Moses, he did not venture to bring against him
an accusation of blasphemy, but said, " May

REMARKS:
The prayers should be recited in a slow, clear, and
reverential manner. A short pause should be made at the
end of each clause as indicated by a vertical (I) line.
The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 3:
"! found it necessary to write to you,
exfzorting you to .contend earnestly for
the faith once for all delivered to the
saints. "
L. 0 my Redeemer, has that terrible hour
come upon us in which there remain but few
Christians animated by the spirit of faith, that
moment in which Thy just wrath will withdraw
Thy protection from us? Have the vices, the evil
habits of our age at last irrevocably moved Thy
justice to vengeance?
A. 0 Author and Perfecter of our faith, I we
entreat Thee I in the bitterness of our contrite heart
I not to permit the beautiful light of faith I to be
extinguished in us. I Recall Thy former mercies, I
cast a compassionate glance on the vine I which
Thou hast planted with Thy right hand I and which
was watered I by the sweat of the apostles, I
irri gated by the precious blood of thousands I and
16
thousands of martyrs I and by the tears of so many
noble penitents, I and fructified by the prayers I of
so many innocent confessors and virgins.
L. Divi ne Mediator, look upon those
zealous souls who, raising themselves incessantly
to Thee, pray for the support of our most precious
treasure, the true faith. Arrest, 0 just God, the
sentence of our rejection; turn away thy glance from
our vices and fix it on the adorable Blood which
purchased our salvation when shed on the Cross
and daily begs it for us on our altars.
A. We beseech Thee, I preserve us in the
true Catho li c faith. I Sin afflicts us, I
disappointments consume us, I misfortunes oppress
us I but preserve Thy holy faith in us I because
enriched with this precious gift, I we will willingly
bear every pain I and wi ll let nothing alter our
happiness. I On the contrary, I without the supreme
treasure of the faith I our misfortune will be '
unspeakable and immense.
. L. 0 good Jesus, Author of our faith ,
1
preserve it pure in us; keep us firm in the bark of
Peter, faithful and obedient to his successor and
Thy vicar here on earth so that the unity of Holy
Church may be preserved, sanctity promoted, the
Apostolic See free and protecteo and the universal
Church extended for the benefit of souls.

A. Fight this day the battle of the Lord I with
thy legions of holy Angels, I even as of old thou
didst fight against Lucifer, I the leader of the proud
spirits I and all his rebel angels, I who were
powerless to stand against thee, I neither was their
place found any more in heaven. I And that apostate
angel, I transformed into an angel of darkness I
who still creeps about the earth I to encompass our
ruin, I was cast headlong into the abyss I together
with his followers.
L. But behold, that first enemy of mankind
and a murderer from the beginning, has regained
his confidence. Changing himself into an angel of
light, he goes about with the whole multitude of
the wicked spirits to invade the earth and blot out
the Name of God and of His Christ, to plunder, to
slay and to consign to eternal damnation the souls
that have been destined for a crown of everlasting
life, This wicked serpent, like an unclean tonent,
pours into men of depraved minds and corrupt
heatts the poison of his malice, the spirit of lying,
impiety and blasphemy, and the deadly breath of
impurity of every form of vice and iniquity.
A. These crafty enemies of mankind I have
filled to overflowing I with gall and wormwood
the Church, I which is the Bride of the Lamb
without spot: I they have laid profane hands I upon
her most sacred treasures. I Make haste, therefore,
20
I 0 invincible Prince, I to help the people of God I
against the inroads of the lost spirits I and grant us
the victory. Amen.
The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 7:
" ... as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the
neighboring cities which like them committed
sins of immorality and practiced unnatural
vices have been made an example undergoing
the punishment of eternal fire. "
L. 0 good Jesus, I know that every perfect
gift and, above all others, that of chastity depends
on the powerful action of Thy divine Providence; I
know that without Thee a creature can do nothing.
A. This is why I beseech Thee to defend, I
by Thy grace, I the purity of my soul and of my
body. I And if I have ever received any impression
I whatsoever of a sentiment I capable of soiling '
this ineffable virtue, I do Thou, 0 supreme Master 1
of my faculties, I blot it out from my soul I that
with a clean heart I I may advance in Thy love and
in Thy service I offering myself chaste all the days
of my life I on the most pure altar of Thy divinity.
It is the Cross that I adore. I The Cross of the Lord
is with me. I The Cross is my refuge.

peace and true unity I to all Christian kings and
princes I and to all the faithful I strengthen and

live for Thee I and die in Thee. I 0 Jesus, I Author
of our faith, I for Thee I live I and for Thee I die. I
Amen.
The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 6:
" And the angels also who did not preserve
their original state, but forsake their abode,
he has kept in everlasting chains under dark-
ness for the judgement of the great day. "
L. Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us
in the battle, that we perish not in the fearful
judgement.
A. Saint Michael, I first champion of the
Kingship of Christ, I pray for us.
L. 0 Jesus! life-spring of the soul!
The Father's Power and Glory bright!
Thee with the Angels we extol ;
From Thee they draw their life and light.
18
A. Thy thousand, thousand hosts are spread,
Embatted o' er the azure sky; I
But Michael bears Thy standard dread, I
And lifts the mighty Cross on high.
L. He in that sign the rebel powers
Did with their dragon prince expel
And hurled them from the heaven's
high towers,
Down like a thunderbolt to hell.
A. Grant us with Michael still, 0 Lord, I
Against the Prince of pride to fight; I
So may a crown be our reward, I
Before the Lamb's pure throne of light.
L. To God the Father and the Son and
Holy Paraclete to Thee,
A. As evermore hath been before, I Be glory
through eternity. Amen.
L. 0 glorious Prince of the heavenly host,
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle
and in the fearful warfare that we are waging against
the principalities and powers, against the rulers of
this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come
thou to the assistance of men, whom Almighty God
created immortal, making them in His own image
and likeness and redeeming them at a great price
from the tyranny of Satan.

L. Jesus, Lover of chastity, Mary Mother
most pure, and Joseph, chaste guardian of the
Virgin, to you I come at this hour, begging you to
plead with God for me.
A. I earnestly wish I to be pure in thought,
word, and deed I in imitation of your own holy
purity. I Obtain for me, then, I a deep sense of
modesty I which will be reflected I in my external
conduct. I Protect my eyes, I the windows of my
soul , I from anything that might dim the luster of a
heart I that must mirror only Christlike purity. I
And when the "Bread of angels I becomes the Bread
of men" I in my heart at Holy Communion, I seal
it forever I against the suggestions of sinful
pleasures. I Heart of Jesus, I Fountain of all purity,
I have mercy on us.
L. Confirm me, 0 God, by the grace ofThy
Holy Spirit. Grant me power to be strengthened in
the inner man, and to cast out of my heart all unclean
thoughts not to be drawn away with various desires
but to view all things as passing away, and myself
also as passing with them. For nothing is lasting
under the sun, where all is vanity and affliction of
spirit. Oh, how wise is he who judges in this way.
A. Grant me, 0 Lord, I celestial wisdom, I
that I may learn above all things I to seek Thee and to
jlnd Thee I above all things to relish Thee and to
22
love Thee, I and to understand all other things as
they are, I according to the order of Thy wisdom.
Grant that I may prudently avoid I all impure
temptation I and patiently endure those I cannot
avoid, I resisting :to the end I by the power of Thy
Grace. Amen.
The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 10:
"But these men deride whatever they do not
know and the things they know by instinct like
the dumb beasts become for them a source of
destruction. "
L. 0 Lord Jesus,
Let me know myself,
Let me know Thee
And desire nothing but Thee alone.
A. Let me hate myself I
And love thee I
And do all things for the sake of Thee.
L. Let me humble myself
And exalt Thee
And think of n'othing but Thee alone.
A. Let medie to myself !
And live in Thee.
And take whatever happens as coming
from Thee.

Let me fear Thee
And be among those who are

The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 20:
"But as for you, Beloved, build up yourselves
upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy
Spirit. "
L. 0 Holy Spirit, who on the solemn day of
Pentecost didst suddenly descend upon the Apostles
gathered in the Upper Room in parted tongues as it
were of fire and didst so enlighten their minds,
inflame their hearts, and strengthen their wills that

l
J
henceforth they went through the entire world and
courageously and confidently proclaimed
everywhere the teaching of Christ and sealed it
with. shedding of their blood,.renew, we beseech
thee, the wondrous outpouring ofThy grace in our
hearts also.
A How grievously I our minds are afflicted
with ignorance I concerning the nature I and dignity
of those divine truths I which form the object of
faith, I without which no man may hope for
salvation. I How far men go astray I :from a just
estimation of earthly goods; I which too often are
put before the soul itself. I How often our hearts
do not beat I with love of the Creator as'they ought, I
but rather with an ignoble lust for creatures. How
often are we led I by a false respect for human
judgement, I when we ought to profess openly the
precepts of Jesus Christ I and to reduce them to
action I with a sincere heart and with the loss, if
need be, I of our worldly substance. I What
weakness we manifest in embracing I and carrying
with a serene and willing heart I the crosses of this
life, I which alone can make the Christian I a
worthy follower of his di vine Master.
L. 0 Holy Spirit, enlighten our lninds, cleanse "'
our hearts, and give new strength to our wills; to such
a degree, at least, that we may clearly recognize the
value of our soul, and in like manner, despise

the perishable goods of this world, that we may love
God above all things and for the love of Him, our
neighbor as ourselves; that we may not only be free
from fear in professing our faith publicly, but rather
may glory in it; finally, that we may accept not only
prosperity but also adversity as from the hand of
the Lord, with all confidence that He will turn all
things into good for those who lovingl y tend
towards Him. Grant, we beseech Thee, that we, by
constantly answering the sweet impulses of Thy
grace and doing that whi ch is good with a
persevering heart, may deserve one day to receive
the rich reward of glory everlasting. Amen.
The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 21:
"Keep yourselves in the love of God. "
L. I love Thee, 0 Jesus, who are perfect
charity; who in Thine essence art true God and true
man; in whom are contained the treasures of the
Divinity and all the fullness of grace which descends
to us upon this earth.
A. I love Thee, I dear Jesus, I who for love
of me I hast made Thyself like unto me; I enkindle
within me I the flame of Thy sacred love, I which
Thou didst bring from heaven, I that loving T h e ~ ,
I may grow into Thy likeness.
30
L. I love Thee, divine Jesus, my Lord and
Master, because Thou has redeemed and freed me,
poor slave of sin, by Thy Precious Blood. Of Thy
sweet mercy, grant that I may enjoy the full fiuit of
Thy Redemption.
A. 0 sweetest Jesus I I implore that I I may
love Thee more and more!
L. Most loving Redeemer, at Thy departure
from this world Thou didst not wish to leave us
orphans. In Thy compassionate love Thou didst
institute the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar,
wherein Thou hast given us Thyself in order to draw
our hearts to Thee and enrich us with the plentitude
ofThy graces. In this sacred mystery it is Thy desire
to hear our prayers and to be our refuge in every
need, our support in all difficulties, our comfort in
every affliction.
A. Thou art wonderful, I 0 Lord, I in all
Thy works, I but in none more wonderful! than in
the Sacrament of Thy love. With deepest reverence
and awe I we behold the divine Majesty, I whom
heaven and earth cannot contain, I enclosed under
the humble appearance of bread. Here the Creator
and Ruler of the entire universe I condescends to
dwell with the children of men I and invites the poor
and needy to come to Him.
31
/
-
L. 0 Jesus, our Advocate, both High Priest
and Lamb of God forever, it was for our redemption
and sanctification that Thou didst offer Thyself upon
the altar of the Cross. In Thy boundless love Thou
didst desire that this sacrifice of salvation should
be daily renewed throughout the entire world until
the end of time that through the merits of Thy
Passion we may obtain the forgiveness of our sins
and be filled with Thy grace and blessing.
A. In every place I there is a sacrifice I and
there is offered to My name I a clean oblation. The
holy Mass is our only means of worthily adoring
and thanking our heavenly Father. Through this
sacrifice I the divine justice is unceasingly honored
and appeased I and the treasures of grace are opened
to us. I 0 God, I how impenetrable is Thy wisdom I
how infinite Thy power I how boundless Thy
goodness and love!
The Epistle of St. Jude ... verse 23:
" ... but others, save, snatching them from
the fire. "
L. Ask what Thou wilt, 0 dearest Lord,
Nothing will we deny;
But only give us countless souls
For Thee before we die.
32
A. Let others pray about themselves, I
Thy grace leads many ways; I
Give us souls, I 'tis thus
Thy Spirit in us prays.
L. A life-long sorrow, if thou wilt,
And sharp enduring pain;
All, all were light, if souls for Thee
Might be the precious gain.
A. Tears will be sweet, I for Thou has wept,\
And blood, I if needs must be; I
No cost too great to purchase souls, I
0 dearest Lord for Thee.
L. Whatever be the price, 0 Lord,
This grace to us impart
A. Souls from the world I and sin set free, I
Souls for Thy Sacred Heart.
L. Eternal God, Creator of all things,
remember that the souls of infidels have been
created by Thee and formed to Thine own image
and likeness.
A. Behold, 0 Lord, I how to Thy dishonor I
hell is being filled with these same souls. Remember '
that Jesus Christ, I Thine only Son, I has suffered a
most cruel death I for their Salvation. Do not
33
/
permit, I we beseech Thee, 0 Lord, I that Thy
divine Son be despised any longer by infidels, I but
rather be Thou appeased I by the prayers of Thy
saints I and of the Church the most holy spouse of
Thy Son, I and vouchsafe to be mindful of Thy
mercy. Forget their idolatry and infidelities I bring
them also to know Him I whom Thou didst.send, I
Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, I who is our health,
life, and resurrection, I through whom have been
redeemed and saved, I to whom be all glory forever.
Amen.

" ... to the only God our Savior, through Jesus
Christ our Lord, belong glory and majesty,
dominion and authority, before all time, and
now, and forever. Amen. "
34
L. We pray Thee, 0 Almighty and Eternal
God, who through Jesus Christ has revealed Thy
glory to all nations, to preserve the works of Thy
mercy that Thy Church, being spread through the
whole world, may continue with unchanging faith
in the confession of Thy Name.
A. We pray Thee, I who alone art good and
holy, I to endow with heavenly knowledge, I sincere
zeal, I and sanctity of life, I our Sovereign Pontiff,
the vicar of our Lord Jesus Christ, I in the
government of His Church; ! likewise our beloved
bishop all other bishops, prelates, and pastors of
the Church I and especially those who are
appointed to exercise among us I the functions of
the holy ministry, I and conduct Thy people in the
ways of salvation.
L. We pray Thee, 0 God of might, wisdom,
and justice, through whom authority is rightly
administered, laws are enacted, and judgement
decreed, assist with Thy Holy Spirit of Counsel
and Fortitude the President of the Philippines that
his administration may be conducted in
righteousness and be eminently useful to Thy
people over whom he presides by encouraging due
respect for virtue and religion, by a faithful
execution of the laws in justice and mercy, and by
restraining vice and immorality. Let the light ofThy
divine wisdom direct the deliberations of Congress
35
r
and shine forth in all proceedings and laws framed
for our rule and government so that they may tend
to the preservation of peace, the promotion of
national happiness, the increase of industry,
sobriety, and useful knowlege; and may perpetuate
to us the blessings of equal liberty.
A. We pray for His Honor, the Mayor of
Manila, I for the members of the Board, I for all
judges, magistrates, and others officers I who are
appointed to guard our political welfare I that they
may be enabled, I by Thy powerful protection, I to
discharge the duties of their respective stations I
with honesty and ability.
L. We recommend likewise to Thine
unbounded mercy all our brethren and fellow
citizens throughout the Philippines that they may
be blessed in the knowledge and sanctified in the
observance ofThy most holy law, that they may be
preserved in union and in that peace which the world
cannot give, and that after enjoying the blessings
of this life, they may be admitted to those which
are eternal.
A. Finally, I we pray to Thee, I 0 Lord of
mercy, I to remember the souls of Thy servants
departed I whO are gone before us I with the sign
of faith I and repose in the sleep of peace I the
souls of our parents, I relatives, and friends I the
souls of those who, I when living, were devotees
36
of St. Jude, I and particularly of such as are lately
deceased I the souls of all benefactors I who proved
their claim to our grateful and charitable re-
membrance. To these, 0 Lord, I and to all who
rest in Christ, I grant, we beseech Thee, I a place
of refreshment, I light, and everlasting peace, I
through the same Jesus Christ, I Our Lord and
Savior. Amen.

PRAYER BEFORE LIGHTING THE CAIQll.E
Father in heaven
The light of Jesus
Has dispersed the darkness
Of hatred and sin
Accept this candel
And let the light your truth
Guide me to your kingdom
Inflame my heart with your grace
Keep me in the radiance of your truth
Fi ll my heart with your _divine love
And please help me in my needs
(mention your petition)
Grant this
Through Christ our Lord and thru the
Intercession of St. Jude Thaddeus
Amen
Our Father Hail Mary Glory Be
