One of the most popular Catholic novenas of all time is to St. Jude, the patron saint of hopeless causes. The novena to St. Jude outlines a series of nine prayers for the prayer to say, including opportunities to name intentions for which one would like St. Jude to intercede. While novenas aren't "magic" prayers, where everything you pray comes true, novenas to St. Jude are particularly popular because of his reputation as the saint of the impossible, so many will pray the St. Jude novena for ill family members and friends, as well as for the conversion of those who do not believe in Christ. This novena is particularly frequented near October 28, St. Jude's feast day.
