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
This January novena, since it occurs closest to Christmas, is a time we focus on the Child Jesus, and we pray more intensely perhaps, for our children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren, as well as all those who have been like children for us in our lives. Just as Jesus Christ might be considered God’s legacy to the world, these children (some who are grown) are our legacy to the world. They represent our hopes, our aspirations, our unfulfilled dreams.

Giving and Getting
As we begin the new year, Fr. Richard discusses the painful divisions shredding our human family, and the importance of caring for others as Jesus cared for all of us. Taking an interest in others, rather than focusing on ourselves, is a spiritual movement that frees us from the self-imposed dictates to be defensive or look good. We flow into a powerful current of the Spirit’s love and understand we are living out our God-given destiny.
