Prayers for David

ST JUDE NOVENA
A novena is the reciting of powerful prayers and devotions for a special request over nine consecutive days.  Traditionally, the prayer is said 9 times each day, for 9 days.  The 9 days signifies the 9 days the early Apostles were instructed to pray, after which they received the comfort of the Holy Spirit. 

Start by saying the prayer to St Jude and repeat nine times. You should follow by saying 3 Our Father, 3 Hail Mary, and 3 Gloria prayers. You do not have to be Catholic to make the novena nor do you have to be religious.

DON'T STOP HOPING
DON'T STOP TRUSTING
DON'T STOP TRYING

Prayer to St Jude (said 9 times)
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be Adored, Glorified, Honoured and Loved throughout the world, now & forever.  Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us.  Saint Jude, Worker of Miracles, pray for us.  Saint Jude, Helper of the Hopeless, pray for us.  Amen.

St. Jude, you witnessed the healing power of our Lord Jesus. You saw his compassion for the sick and dying. You yourself touched the sick, shared the sorrows of the mournful, and encouraged the despairing. You received this authority and healing power to work wonders, to cure the incurable, to make people whole. We ask you to intercede with our brother, Jesus, to send his saving grace to heal the sickness and suffering of David Stephens, to uplift his despondent spirits, and to instill hope in his heart. Amen.

Our Father (said 3 times)
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  Amen.

Hail Mary (said 3 times)
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.  Blessed are you among  women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Gloria (said 3 times)
Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.
