Prayer to St. Jude for Students

Back to School

National Shrine of St. JudeSt. Jude, stay with me. Though the journey of learning is long and often difficult, your quiet presence gives me courage. Sustain my trust in myself, my teachers, and fellow students. Help me to let go of my fears and believe in the growth that is happening, even though I may not see it right away. As I embark again on this mission of study, I ask for the grace to be wise in mind and word, compassionate at heart, and full of energy and zeal as I seek to learn the ways of God’s world and come to understand how my gifts may serve their best purpose. Amen.

Post your prayer or petition below for those heading back to school. Or if you would like, send your special intentions to the altar of St. Jude at the National Shrine of St. Jude where they will be prayed for by the Claretians.

    Please pray that my son at college would break his ties with a religious cult that is sucking him in. He is on the autism spectrum and has had trouble socially, so when this cult offered him “instant” friendships and “love-bombing.” he got sucked in. Please pray that he can see their deceiving ways and pray that he breaks his ties with them, get friendships elsewhere and gets back on track at school and with his life. We have raised him as a Catholic since birth and we feel so helpless because he is over 18 years old and this group is filling his head with garbage. Please pray for him!!!!!!!!AMEN.
