Novena toSaint-Jude

The theme of the October 2008 Novena will be

«Walk in my presence»

October 2008 Novena (October 20 to 28) in French

 

The Novena will be preached in French

Dear friends ofSaint-Jude,

Dear pilgrims of the heart,

Nothing happens on Earth, and particularly in our life, while the Lord «has His back turned»; meaning that nothing happens unbeknown to Him.  He is always present to His creations. It is His work of art !

The question is how to find Him in our everyday life
That is why, during this novena, day by day, we will meditate, what the Lord told Abraham : «Walk in my presence».

To help us in our quest, every day we will recite a prayer from Charles de Foucauld and, of course, the request prayer toSaint-Jude.

Prayers to recite all the days of the novena

CHARLES DE FOUCAULD PRAYER

I abandon myself into your hands;
do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you:
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me,
and in all your creatures -
I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul:
I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands without reserve,
and with boundless confidence,
for you are my Father.
