Prayer has always been the backbone of our organization's efforts, because our battle is not against flesh, but against principalities and powers. Abortion is one of Satan's favorite tools in his vain attempts to destroy God by destroying His image and likeness. But, as powerful and dangerous as Satan is, God is infinitely more powerful. We need to continuously invoke His guidance and aid, if we are to overcome.

The Eucharist is the center of our prayer lives because it is the center of Christian empowerment. Here we have direct access to the Lord of Lords, Who desires to be with us, to communicate with us, and to give us the grace and strength for which we ask for. Our St. Jude Chapel features daily Mass, Monday through Friday at Noon, and a second Mass on Friday at 6 P.M. There is also all-day exposition and adoration, Monday through Friday, and all night adoration twice a week. We are gradually expanding hours in an attempt to eventually reach perpetual adoration. If you would like to assist by committing to an hour timeslot each week, click here or call us at 773-794-1313.

The St. Jude Chapel also hosts the Apostolate for Family Consecration's Be Not Afraid Holy Hours, beautifully presented hour-long videos, which feature great teachers of the Church, like Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Francis Cardinal Arinze, Father Frank Pavone, and many others, and a Rosary with visual meditations. These holy hours, presented every Wednesday evening at 6:15 P.M. and repeated at 7:30 P.M. are a great opportunity to bring your family together in prayer, reflection, and catechesis in Our Lord's sacramental Presence.

The chapel also hosts a Friday Night Prayer Vigil each week. Because Saturday is the heaviest abortion day of the week, it is particularly appropriate to gather together in prayer for the moms and babies in the hours leading up to the following morning carnage. The evening begins with Mass in the chapel at 6 P.M. At 7 P.M., one group moves around the corner to pray in front of one of Chicago's busiest abortion mills for an hour, while a smaller group remains in chapel, adoring Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. The groups reunite at 8 P.M., for several hours of silent and vocal prayer. Those who wish, may stay all night.
