Five Saints to Call on in Times of Financial Need

In Catholicism, saints intercede for believers to bring them the blessings they need. Many saints are also connected to deities from other religions, so you don’t have to be a Catholic to ask for their help. In times of financial difficulty, there are five saints you can call on to help you find relief.

Saint Joseph

Saint Joseph was the stepfather of Jesus. He is the patron saint of fathers and, as a diligent carpenter, also of workers. He cared for Jesus and his mother Mary and was a devoted and hardworking husband even in times of crisis.

If you are currently underemployed or unemployed, light a candle to Saint Joseph. If you’re currently job hunting, wear a Saint Joseph bracelet when you’re looking. Pray…

Dear Saint Joseph,
Help me and guide me to support my family in this time of need,

how you supported Mary and Jesus.

Help me take the financial fear from my heart

so I emerge from this financial crisis whole, happy and with plenty of blessings.

Amen.

Saint Anthony

Saint Anthony preached with such passion that he was able to convert even the most stubborn. Many people have experienced miracles after asking him to intercede for them. Since Saint Anthony could help people find God, he can also be asked to find lost objects – including lost rewards.

Anoint a white Saint Anthony candle with a few drops of Saint Anthony oil and light while praying. You can pray as you wish or follow this short prayer…

Blessed Saint Anthony,
Finder of the lost and caregiver of the afflicted.

Please beg God to help me find a good job

one that enables me to provide for my family

while allowing myself to serve others.

Saint Anthony, pray for me.

Saint Jude

Saint Jude is the patron saint of hopeless causes and impossible tasks. Call on him when you need hope or your struggles are getting you stuck.

If you are in urgent need of financial assistance, light a green Saint Jude candle anointed with a few drops of Saint Jude oil or dusted with Saint Jude powder. If you find yourself going out into the world to do the impossible, pray for a Saint Jude medal. Carry this medal with you and ask the Saint for help whenever you need it…

Holy Jew,
They are considered the patron saint of hope.

Come to my aid and stand up for me

from which I can find relief (state your problem here).

I will always look to your help and honor you as my special patron saint.

Amen.

Saint Peter

Saint Peter is best known for denying Jesus three times and eventually becoming the first pope of the Catholic Church. He is also the patron saint of fishermen, net makers, locksmiths and shoemakers. Since he holds the “keys of heaven,” many people pray to him to open the doors to their desires.

If you own a business, light a red St. Peter’s candle and pray for success. To pave the way to happiness and prosperity, wear a St. Peter keychain or medal. When you are in need, pray:

Oh holy apostle
who holds the keys of heaven.

Intercede on my behalf and obtain for me

Patience, hope, humility and diligence.

Come to my aid and unlock the door to my success,

that I could use my success to care for others.

Amen.

Saint Expedito

Saint Expedito was a Roman centurion who won the cloak of Jesus in a game of chance. People ask for his intercession, protection, quick fixes, or luck in gambling.

If you want to make money or have better luck at gambling, wear San Expedito Cologne. For even better luck, anoint a Saint Expedito candle with Saint Expedito oil and pray…

Saint Expedito.
I have faith and trust that you will help me in my time of financial need.

Quickly come to my aid with (specify your need)

so that I can live in peace, prosperity and love.

Do this for me and I will do it (promise him a specific offer).

Amen.

Money worries can bring a lot of stress, but you don’t have to struggle alone. You can ask any of these saints for help and rest assured that they will do their best to improve your situation.
