    On the Feast of Sts. Simon and Jude

    Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.

    Intercede with God for me that He may bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in my great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings.

    May I praise God with you and all the saints forever. I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor granted me by God and to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.

    Amen

    Daily Prayer for America 250

    By Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke

    O Sacred Heart of Jesus, King of Heaven and Earth,

    I place today my nation, the United States of America,

    into Your Heart pierced for love of us.

    On the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence,

    I acknowledge that true liberty is Your gift,

    and that our lasting homeland is the eternal Kingdom of God.

    Under the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas,

    and through the intercession of her Immaculate Heart,

    bless my homeland anew,

    purify her from sin,

    and guide her leaders in truth, justice, and peace,

    so that she may safeguard all human life,

    respect the integrity of marriage and the family,

    and honor the practice of religion.

    Reign in my home and in my nation.

    Draw every heart into communion with You,

    that Your truth, love, justice, mercy, and peace may triumph

    in America and throughout the world.

    Amen.

    O Lord Jesus Christ, You alone are the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

    In Your church You show us the Way, You teach us the Truth, and You give us Your Life.

    Grant, we humbly beg You, that, always and in all things, we may be faithful to You in Your Holy Church, and to Your Vicar on Earth, the Supreme Pontiff, Pope Leo XIV.

    Grant also, we beg You, that, in these times of decision, all who profess to be Catholic and who are entrusted with the sacred duty to participate in public life, may, by the strength of Your grace, unwaveringly follow Your Way and faithfully adhere to Your Truth, living in You with all their mind and heart, for Your greater glory, the salvation of souls, and the good of our nation.

    Amen.

    Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of America, pray for us.

    Saint Thomas More, Patron of Religious Freedom, pray for us.

    Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,

    That my thoughts may all be holy.

    Act in me, O Holy Spirit,

    That my work, too, may be holy.

    Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,

    That I love but what is holy.

    Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,

    To defend all that is holy.

    Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,

    That I always may be holy.
