Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You give me hope, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide all souls to the light of Christ. May the hope that you offer be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope and through our faith, we experience God’s tender mercy, and trust His promise of eternal life. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that I may always rely on your care for me. Amen.

Services are private and entrusted to Solan-Pruzin Funeral Home.
