St Jude NovenaBelow is the Election Novena to St. Jude, but for the next election we will be praying this new Election Novena featuring more saints. Click here for the new Election Novena.

Many faithful people look at politics and the election process and they think to themselves, “What’s the point?! It’s a lost cause.”

I know I’ve felt this way before! But, at the same time, our faith calls us to prayer and action in the public square. So, who better to intercede on behalf of the election than St. Jude: Patron of Lost Causes!

Please join me in praying this special Election Novena to St. Jude. Sign up here to get the prayers delivered to your email inbox.

You can certainly pray for your personal intentions as well during this powerful novena.

We will be praying our regular St. Jude Novena with some small changes and with the addition of the following election prayer:

Election Prayer

O St. Jude, please bring these election prayers to the throne of God:

I ask for the eyes to see others as sons and daughters of God. I ask for help in forming my conscience according to the Gospel so that I may both vote and act for the common good.

Give me the courage to stand up for the weakest members of society. The poor, the weak, the unborn. Give me the courage to re-examine my political loyalties and to be first a faithful follower of Jesus before I follow.

Remind me that my only true hope is in Jesus and that political power can never replace the the will of God and the mission of the Church.

For my own vote, help me to cast it in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. Help me to do it reverently and with a well formed conscience.

For these elections, Oh God, please bless us with the best leaders possible at all levels of government.

My vote is a small but important part of my Christian life. Help me to both vote and live by the Gospel putting my trust in Jesus alone.

St. Jude, Pray for us!

  54. I have been saying every Novena since joining months and months ago for a job for my son. Still……no job and he is so well qualified for so many things. Has an Associate Degree, went to school on the GI Bill, has a license in refrigeration and air conditioning and worked in the construction field for almost 30 years until his company went bankrupt. He so desperately needs a job, is so depressed right now, has been looking for two years. Had a bad experience in his distant past, almost 30 years ago and it is still following him around. Please, please pray for him!

  55. I pray that during these very important elections all, especially Christians, will vote in accordance to scripture and not individual interests. I pray that as a country we will vote for candidates that will work to protect life from conception to death. Without life one cannot enjoy our other unalienable rights endowed by our Creator.

May God bless and guide our elections, our elected officials, our citizens, and our entire country. St Jude pray for us.

Also, I am very passionate about being an advocate for all the victims of human trafficking. I you could please pray with me for all those victims who have been freed, I know that many of them will commit suicide because they don’t know how to go on with their lives. Please pray that they, too, choose life. After having attended the Beyond the Vote Conference this weekend I was made aware of the bullying Obama and other pro-abortionists have been doing. May it cease so that I culture of life may be cultivated. May all families who are expecting a disabled child have comfort and support and may they be encouraged to fight against their own doctors and choose life.
