THINKING OF HEAVEN

Saint Mary Magdalene,
woman of many sins,
who by conversion
became the beloved of Jesus,
thank you for your witness
that Jesus forgives
through the miracle of love.

You, who already possess eternal happiness
in His glorious presence,
please intercede for me,
so that some day
I may share in the same everlasting joy.

Amen

Lord, grant that I may always allow myself
to be guided by You,
always follow Your plans,
and perfectly accomplish Your Holy Will.
Grant that in all things,
great and small,
today and all the days of my life,
I may do whatever You require of me.
Help me respond to the slightest prompting of Your Grace,
so that I may be Your trustworthy instrument for Your honour.
May Your Will be done in time
and in eternity by me, in me, and through me.

Amen.

St. Jude, glorious Apostle,
faithful servant and friend of Jesus,
the name of the traitor has caused you to be forgotten by many,
but the true Church invokes you universally
as the Patron of things despaired of;
pray for me,
who am so miserable;
pray for me,
that finally I may receive the consolations
and the succour of Heaven in all my necessities,
tribulations and sufferings, particularly

(make your request)

and that I may bless God with the Elect throughout Eternity.
Amen.

St. Jude, Apostle, martyr and relative of our Lord Jesus Christ,
of Mary and of Joseph,
intercede for us.
