Prayer for the Friends of St. Jude
Dear God, I can get very caught up in my own problems. After all, they are real and cause me a lot of pain. But I remember that I am part of a large human family, your family, and we all have problems. I expand my awareness to include all people, especially the many others who approach Saint Jude with their concerns. I move out of myself to embrace them in prayer and ask that your grace may flow through every one of them.

About us
The Dominican Friars, the Province of St. Albert the Great, are Roman Catholic priests and brothers. We are part of the global "Order of Preachers," the Dominican Family of priests, brothers, sisters, nuns and lay people, who live and pray today in a holy tradition that dates back to time of St. Dominic, the thirteenth century.

Our mission is to communicate the Word of God through preaching, theological education, and the promotion of justice and peace. This mission in the Body of Christ demands a vowed community life, liturgical prayer and life-long study.

A Message from Fr. Jim
May is traditionally a month dedicated to our Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and to our own mothers. Our May Novena is dedicated to our mothers, living and deceased. We unite ourselves to them in prayer, and remember them to the Lord and His Mother, Mary. Join us in this novena, either in person (if you live in or near Chicago), or at home by offering a novena of prayers to them. We would also be happy to remember your mothers here at the Shrine.

Dominican Connection
Did you know that there is an ancient tradition that the Blessed Virgin Mary gifted the rosary to St. Dominic? This is immortalized in various paintings. Dominicans have a special devotion to Mary. She is considered patroness of the Order. Dominicans remember this special gift of the rosary by including the complete rosary as part of our holy habit, or religious garb.

Resilience
Human beings are amazing. We experience the loss of loved ones; serious illness; betrayal; being up-rooted; torture; serious depression; addictions; and still, - here we are! Not only are we still here, but we continue to take an interest in other people and make decisions that will make things better. We are resilient. Resilience is very intertwined with the virtue of Hope.
