Please pray that an acquaintance of mine open up his heart and his mind to friendship and to love with me. Thank you for your prayers!

Please pray that an acquaintance of mine open up his heart and his mind to friendship and to love with me. Thank you so much for your prayers!

Dear St. Jude, first I am admitting that I have forgotten you throughout the years. In fact, I in my selfishness, forgot you after your intercession granted me a miracle. I am sorry, for being a fair weather friend only to be there when I need something. I hope you’d forgive my selfishness, my me being me.
I’ve become cold throughout the years, thinking that God is not answering my prayers, that Heaven has forgotten me. So I clung to my sins and reclusiveness. But now, it seems God’s plan for me is starting to unravel. I moved to another state to start over in life. And with it, I brought my sinfulness. But it seems that God broke open my armor and exposed my weakness, my loneliness and sinfulness, mostly my wretchedness. I am sorry for what I’ve become.
Now that I am alone in this state. God broke my fake armor with weakness that I’ve been hiding, my need of love , to love and to be loved. Her name is Charity. In my selfishness, I unexpectedly kissed her and almost took it too far. I realized I ruined my chance to have her as a friend, a friendship that I know I need in life.
After realizing what I did in that one, enjoyable but costly instant, I also realized what kind of wretched I’ve become.
If you can’t see me as a friend,dear St. Jude, (please pray for me that I become a friend to you), please see me as a sinner in need of your intercession to Our Father. These are what I need. Please be kind and intercede for me.
I ask for your intercession for the grace of conversion, because I’m tired of masking my wretchedness with the mask of sin. I am far away from God, and I need to get back home.
I ask your intercession for the grace to do what God wants me to do everyday. Things aren’t working out well here in my new life. I want to run. But concentrating in that one thing, the one thing that God wants me to do each day, is a step in conversion.
I ask for your intercession to rescue me from loneliness. I have fought an carried it for almost 2 decades now. I don’t want to be like this anymore. My heart is tired of it.
And last, I ask for love. I don’t know if I am deserving of it. But I’ve tried to not think about it or to make it go away. But I can’t. I now am admitting that I need it. I need to be loved and be able to love. I admit that that’s how God made me and I accept it.
All of that, God me realize when he awoken my conscience with that one selfish kiss, with Charity. She’s sweet, humble, easy to get along with, funny and adventurous. And I ruined my chance to be her friend by that one selfish act. She says she’s going through difficult times right now that’s why we can’t be friends or in a relationship. But I know, that if I were a better person then, I be her friend now and I’d be helping her get through her tough times, and she and I will be closer. So I ask for your intercession, that she’d let me in her life. For several reasons, because with that moment of kiss, God made me realize again what is good.. and I need this good in my life. With that kiss, I once again realized what I’ve been missing, happiness and love and that my nature is to love someone… and I would like to ask that I get to love Charity. After one of our conversation as she told me about the bad things that happened in her life, all I could think about was “I’d like to be one of the good things that ever happened to her”. But my wretchedness took over and I ruined our budding friendship. So dear St. Jude, I ask another chance to have a friendship and relationship with Charity.

All of these I ask your intercession for. I want and need to be good again and remain good and pleasing to Giod. Please help me. I want to find my way back home. Please ask all the Saint and especially Mother for their help. And please send them my thanks for all of the help that I’ve received and will be receiving. I need to be rescued from what I’ve become, please help me.

St Jude Pray for financial blessings for our family and for our family to be debt free

Dear St. Jude, my friend, I’m 37 years old and I had been out of a relationship for two years and wasn’t looking for another one when I realized that my professional admiration for a parishioner had gradually developed into romantic feelings. He is a little more than 20 years older than me, but we share similar values, we’re both well-educated, and have done well in our respective professions. Many men have told me that I’m very attractive, apparently so much so that I often find out from other people of guys having crushes on me. “Problem” is that I look younger than I am and I’m really very shy about directly initiating dates/relationships. I think this man probably thinks that I wouldn’t be interested in an older man.

I find myself thinking about this charismatic, quirky man (who is unmarried) all the time. I admire his intelligence, his eccentricities, his independence of mind, and his heart for others. I would love a chance with him to see if this could develop into more. Some people seem so quick to judge age gaps in relationships. But like I mentioned, we have similar values, interests, are both single, and we share the Catholic faith. It’s not like I’m naïve or barely legal.

Please, please, please St. Jude, please pray that this dear man open up his heart and mind to friendship and to love with me. Please pray that any judgmental obstacles that might challenge a relationship with him not deter him from talking with me more and, I pray with such hope, asking me out. This may sound so desperate and silly to some, but I’m full of anxiety about this and I often cry about it when I‘m alone. It’s a weird situation to be in: to have many others interested in me but I don’t feel anything toward those men but this one. I think this guy might be attracted to me based on how he’s acted around me before. I think he just might be dismissing me because of my age and might assume that I’m not interested in him because he’s older. I don’t fall in love easily, though when it does hit me, it’s all consuming. I would never do anything to hurt this man. I’d love him, care for him, and stick by him. I’m a very loyal person, I would never cheat on a man or use him. I simply care so much for him already, no ulterior motives (I’m not looking for a sugar daddy).

Please pray for us! Thank you so much for your prayers and friendship! You and St. Valentine are part of my “saintly dream team” with this. It really means so much to me, it truly does. Please pray that we have many more opportunities to work together at church, opportunities where I have the chance to talk with him in a smaller, more intimate setting so we can chat more one-on-one (we‘ve had a few before). And please pray that he initiates something. I’m just too shy to do it myself.

St Jude thank you for answering my many impossible prayers. Please look into the prayers of all these people longing for answers and intercede for them. Amen

Please dear St. Jude we implore you to help our sons. They are struggling with depression and are disappointed with themselves. Somedays they don’t see a way out. We do not want to lose our children. Please take this pain away from them. Help them find the strength to break free from the depression and release any anger. Take this petition to our Lord, Jesus his son, the Holy Spirit, and the Blessed Mother? In Jesus name we pray.

Dear St. Jude: Please continue to ask Our Lord for his guidance and blessings. Thank you.

Dear St. Jude once again here I am asking you imploring you for my marriage, please help my husband to clear his mind, to resolve his internal conflits with himself to find himself, to realize that he is happy with us his family children and wife. Amen.
