Weekly Devotion – August 13th

Weekly Devotions

National Shrine of St. JudeJesus clearly intends the phrase “bread of life” to have a much more particular meaning during Sunday’s Gospel. He identifies the phrase with His bodily flesh and blood. When He says that His flesh will be given for the life of the world, Jesus is referring to His perfect sacrifice at Calvary. There can be no doubt that these powerful words point both to His death and to the Holy Eucharist, the means by which His sacrifice is represented on altars around the world.

We pray together: St. Jude, may the body of Christ sanctify me, refresh me, and strengthen me today.

    Please continue to pray for my Grandma, her health continues to go up and down. Please give her strength.

    Please also continue to pray for F and give him healing in his heart and mind. Please give me a sign that he will communicate with me again and soon. His depression has pushed him away from me and this silence is so incredibly painful. The battle feels like it has gone on forever and I feel so helpless I don’t know what more I can do. Please help him to understand that I care for him unconditonally. Please help him see how much I still love and care. I have faith that things will be restored, in some way. All I need right now more than anything is for us to just communicate again. I know the sooner we can talk to one another again, the sooner we can overcome his struggles together and with prayer. Please help him know he is not alone in this, he has my support and my prayers.
