Novena to St. Jude, patron of hopeless causes and desperate situations, or impossible causes and lost causes. Feel free to add your own intentions, of course, but we ask that you consider joining our group in praying:

1.  That our nation would be unified in seeking the common good as we approach the election and 

2.  That God would raise up leaders and saints in our own group--particularly as we approach All Saints Day (Nov 1). 

There's a few options for this novena (pick whichever one of the three fits best for you):

1. Simple version:
   Each day, starting today, and for 9 days total, simply pray "St. Jude, pray for us" for those intentions previously mentioned and for any other intentions near and dear to your heart

2.  Slightly longer version:
   "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 bring visible and speedy help where help is  almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive  the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and  sufferings, particularly -(make your request here)- and that I may 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"
