St. Therese of the Child Jesus, the Little Flower (feast October 3)
I greet you, Saint Therese of the CHild Jesus, lily of Purity, ornament and glory of Christianity! I salute you, great saint, seraph of Divine Love. I rejoice at the favors our Blessed Lord Jesus has liberally bestowed on you. In humility and confidence, I entreat you to help me, for I know that God has given you charity and pity, as well as power. Oh then, behold my distress my anxiety, my fears. Oh tell him now my wants. One sigh from you will crown my success, will fill me with joy. Remember your promise to do good on earth. Obtain for me from God the graces of the Divine Lord (especially…). Amen.
St. Raphael the Archangel (feast October 24)
Glorious Archangel St. Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace, guide of those who journey by land or sea, consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners, I beg you to assist me in all my needs and in all the sufferings of this life, as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels. And because you are the Medicine of God, I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and all the ills which inflict my body, if it be for my greater good. I especially ask of you the favor of (name it) and the grace of angelic purity, which makes me fit to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
St. Raphael, of the glorious seven who stand before the throne of Him who lives and reigns, Angel of Health, the Lord has filled your hand with balm from heaven to soothe or cure our pains – heal or cure the victim of disease, and guide our steps when doubtful of our ways.
St. Jude the Apostle
Glorious Apostle St. Jude Thaddeus, true relative of Jesus and Mary, I salute you through the Sacred Heart of Jesus! Through this Heart I praise and thank God for all the graces he has bestowed upon you. Humbly prostrate before you I implore you, through this Heart, to look down upon me with compassion. Despise not my poor prayer, let not my trust be confounded! To you God has granted the privilege of aiding mankind in the most desperate cases. Oh come to my aid that I may praise the mercies of God.
All my life I will be your grateful client until I can thank you in heaven. Amen.
St. Jude, pray for us and for all who invoke your aid.
