Prayer to Saint Jude for a Silent Miracle

Saint Jude, faithful servant of Christ and patron of desperate causes, I ask for your prayers today for the miracle that lives quietly in my heart.

You know the need I have not spoken aloud.
You see the burden I carry, the worry I hide, and the answer I long for in silence.

Saint Jude, please intercede for me before the Lord.

Ask Jesus to move where I cannot move,
to open what I cannot open,
to heal what I cannot heal,
and to make a way where I cannot see one.

Pray for the miracle I need so deeply —
the one known fully to God,
the one I place now into His merciful hands.

When fear tells me nothing will change,
help me remain faithful.
When the waiting feels heavy,
help me keep trusting.
When I feel alone in this prayer,
remind me that God is already working.

Saint Jude, obtain for me the grace to believe that even silent prayers are heard, and even hidden tears are seen by the Lord.

If it is God’s holy will, may this silent miracle be granted.
And if I must wait, give me peace, strength, and unshaken faith while I do.

Saint Jude, pray for me.

Amen.

6 THINGS THAT MADE JESUS ANGRY

The Bible says, “be angry and do not sin,” and during Jesus’ sinless life He expressed righteous indignation at pivotal moments to teach His us all eternal lessons. Here are six heart issues that incited His anger.

1 - HYPOCRISY

Jesus dealt harshly with those who appeared pious on the outside but had hearts that were far away from God. Referring to a crowd He says, “How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will clearly see to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Before we accuse others, we must first examine ourselves and then deal with others graciously.

2 - GREED

Nothing is more telling of Jesus’ outward expression of anger than when He drove out the money changers. Using the church as a vehicle for economic activity, instead of promoting spiritual vitality demonstrates a wrong heart that idolizes money. Jesus saw into their hearts and saw that they weren’t in the temple to encounter God, but to make a profit from those coming to make an offering unto The Lord.

3 - LUKEWARM LIVING

It is Christ’s desire that people burn deeply in their spiritual life and not be straddling the fence as He says, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold or hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.” Jesus desires a level of spiritual intensity that is always progressing in the life of God. Middle of the road faith is off putting because it demonstrates a believer unwilling to prevail in spiritual matters…becoming like stagnant water.

4 - HARD HEARTEDNESS

In Mark 3:5 it reads “And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand.” Instead of the discussion being around the power of God’s miracle for healing, the onlookers accused Jesus of doing ‘good works’ on the Sabbath. Their loyalty to legalism prevented them from having a right heart before the powerful presence of God.

5 - SUPERIORITY

The Scribes and Pharisees were in particularly on bad terms with Jesus during His ministry because they were placing a spiritual demand on people that they themselves were unable to meet, “They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger.” The heart that lord’s expectations over others that are not of God, exalts the doctrines of men and not the Holy Word of God.

6 - SPIRITUAL PRIDE

Jesus challenged the people to give their spiritual offering of prayer, fasting and tithes/offering in secret to God. He warned them not to be like those who only demonstrated these practices to be seen and praised by others. Self-righteousness clogs the flow of Kingdom power from flowing through your life because it diminishes our ability to be humble and yielded under the Father’s power.

ST. PADRE PIO ON HOW TO ATTEND MASS

Before Padre Pio offered the unconsecrated host on his Paten, he would run his fingers around the host to make sure there were no loose particles.

On July 25, 1915, Padre Pio wrote a letter to Anita Rodote on how to properly attend the Holy Mass:

The Divine Master calls the church the house of prayer. In order to avoid irreverence and imperfections I exhort you in the Lord to:

▪︎Enter the church in silence and with great respect.

▪︎Take the holy water and make the sign of the cross carefully and slowly.

▪︎Before God in the Blessed Sacrament genuflect devoutly.

▪︎At your pace, kneel down and render to Jesus the tribute of you presence.

▪︎Confide to him all your needs, and those of others.

▪︎Speak to him with filial abandonment.

▪︎Be very composed when standing up, kneeling down, and sitting.

▪︎Carry out every religious act with the greatest devotion.

▪︎Be modest in your glance.

▪︎Don't turn you head here and there to see who enters and leaves.

▪︎Don't laugh.

▪︎Don't speak to anybody, except when requested for charity or other strict necessity.

▪︎Say the words distinctly, observe the pauses, and never hurry.

▪︎Behave in such a way that all the presents are edified by you.

▪︎Don't leave without asking Jesus for his blessing, and forgiveness for your shortcomings.

▪︎Leave the church recollected and calm.

In Rome, you can climb the "Scala Sancta" (Holy Stairs) the stairs that Jesus was said to have ascended before Pontius Pilate -which were brought from Jerusalem to Rome by St. Helena.

CORPUS CHRISTI: THE BODY OF CHRIST

Tomorrow, Holy Mother Church celebrates the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, a feast dedicated to the greatest gift Jesus left us: Himself in the Holy Eucharist.

The Eucharist is not merely a symbol. It is not ordinary bread and wine. It is the true Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ.

At every Holy Mass, Heaven touches earth. Jesus becomes truly present on the altar and gives Himself to us as spiritual food for our journey to eternal life.

As Catholics, we kneel before the Blessed Sacrament because we believe the words of Christ:

"For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink." (John 6:55)

Tomorrow, let us spend time with Our Eucharistic Lord, attend Mass if possible, make a visit to the Blessed Sacrament, and thank Jesus for remaining with us in every tabernacle throughout the world.

The Eucharist that we receive at every Mass is Jesus.

O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine. ✝️🤍🙏🏻

• Padre Pio Prayer:

"Stay with me, Lord,
for You are my life,

I am without fervor.

Stay with me, Lord,

I am in darkness.

Stay with me, Lord,

The architect of Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudi, was a spiritual giant.

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of June is to pray “for the values of sports”, that all sport may promote peace, fraternity and communion.

“Lord of life, we thank you for the gift of sport, for those who glorify God through the exercise of their bodies, for the friendships born on the field and the joy of playing as a team.

You teach us that in life, as in the game, no one is saved alone. We need others to grow, to learn respect, to overcome our limits, and to celebrate together the victories we achieve.”
