May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, loved in all tabernacles until the end of time, Amen.

St.Jude pray for us and hear our prayers, Amen.

Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Blessed be the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Blessed be Saint Jude Thaddeus in all the world and for all eternity.

O glorious apostle, St.Jude Thaddeus, true relative of Jesus and Mary,
I salute you through the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Through this heart I praise and thank God for all the graces He has bestowed upon you.
Humbly prostate before you,
I implore you through the heart to look down upon me with compassion.
Oh, despise not my poor prayer,
let not my trust be confounded.
To you God has granted the privilege of aiding mankind in the most desperate of cases.
Oh, come to my aid that I may praise the mercies of God.
All my life I will be grateful to you, and will be your faithful client until I can thank you in heaven,
Amen.

Remember that no problem is too big for the Lord Almighty. We all have our ups and downs. We all undergo hardships in life. There comes a time when we encounter the crossroads in life and have a hard time deciding what to do.

Life is all about love.

The Lord is about Love.

Love the Lord above all, and learn to love oneself fully.

Only then can you learn to love others and spread the joy that life has in store.

Try

Misery is always part of the equation.
In life, you learn to give yourself fully as an expression of true love.
You learn to forget hate.
You learn to think of others first before yourself.
You learn to shut up when in fact it is really time to talk.
You learn to divulge in your own feelings and consider the feelings of others as a priority.
You learn to do things you do not normally do and enjoy it in the process.
You learn to forget luxury and focus on necessities instead.
You learn to love by sacrificing yourself.
It is through the above manifestations that love has truly presented itself.
But what about misery?
Self sacrifice will eventually take it's toll.
Love is the sole purpose of our existence.
This you should figure much.
But loving oneself is far more important than loving others.
It is through self growth that you learn to improve on loving yourself.
Only then should you consider the act of self sacrifice.
Only then that love can be openly given.
Only then that your soul can truly express the depths of your capability to love.
With no hate.
No misery.
And above all, no regrets.
Misery is a result of inadequacy.
Inadequate love.
Inadequate attention.
Inadequate expression.
Inadequate passion.
Learn to love yourself more.
Learn to pay attention to what your body and soul desires.
Learn to express yourself fully with no apprehensions.
Learn to harness your passion and never stop improving under any circumstances.
Passion is a manifestation of love.
This kind of love is inherent in any individual and should not be wasted at all.
Passion is an expression of self love.
Passion is a gift from God.
Misery should not deter you from expressing love.
Or passion at it's worst.
In fact, misery should let you gauge your thoughts and emotions.
Misery should inspire you to become a better person.
Misery should uplift the soul and energize the body towards improvement.
Misery is not the enemy.
You are the enemy.
Only you can harness and control the demons that forever linger inside your head.
Only you can create a harmonious environment to nurture passion and express love.
It is through you that the world can truly change.
It is through you that love can be openly given and felt.
Love yourself.
Love others.
And love the Almighty above all else.
It never hurts to try.
