Sacred heart of Jesus pray for us. St. Jude worker of miracles pray for us. St. Jude help of the hopeless pray for us. They say if you pray this prayer 9 times a day and on the ninth day your prayer will be answered. I have never heard anything so directly against the Christian faith!! Why would anyone need to believe that Christ died for us... According to this the power to answer prayer is whoever prays, as opposed to the power being God's alone.
