Weekly Devotion – December 26th

Weekly Devotions

St. Jude ThaddeusIn Sunday’s second reading, Paul details the virtues we must cultivate: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness and above all else, love and gratitude. This reading presents a good examination of consciousness with regard to family life. When have we taken a harsher stance over kinder ones? In what moments have we neglected to express our gratitude for the things others do for us throughout the day? This is the courtesy we must have toward the members of our family because it is the only way to build, in our own home, the kingdom of truth and love that God desires.

We pray together: St. Jude, together we seek happiness and peace. Walk with me and my family, always protecting us from sin and harm.

    Thank you Saint Jude for your many blessings and I am grateful to the Lord Almighty for helping me through some difficult time. I trust this petition to you, St. Jude and I ask that my daughter’s life will improve and that she will be relieved of the anxiety and loneliness she feel. If it is God’s will please bring that special someone into her life to love and cherish her. She is a good soul with a good heart and I believe that God will help her through my petition that you carry to Him. These things I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen
