Publication promised. Pray for nine days and on the ninth, publish this prayer.

O Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. St. Jude pray for us and all who invoke your aid. Amen.

Welcome to the Board gerrly. With all due respect and it is not my intent to offend, but you will find that most of us on this site pray only to the triune God. (Father, Son and Holy Spirit.)

The Bible says that we shouldn't even pray to angels. They are simply messengers.

Amen His Grace!!

Jesus taught us to pray to our Heavenly Father. We are not to pray to ANY but God Almighty.

Jesus also spoke against repetitous prayers, and we are certainly not to pray to any sinners saved by grace whether they be Mary, any of the Apostles, or any other man or woman who have all sinned and come far short of the glory of God.

It is ONLY through faith alone in Christ Jesus alone that we are redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb.

Matt 6:
1: Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2: Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3: But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7: But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8: Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
