Prayer to St. Jude
To be said in great affliction, or when one seems to be deprived of all
visible help, or for cases despaired of.
Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend
of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the
hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the Church
honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things
despaired of. Pray for me who am so miserable; make use I implore you,
of that particular privilege accorded to you, to bring visible and speedy help
where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great
need that I may receive the consolations and help of heaven in all my
necessities, tribulations, and sufferings particularly --- (Her make your
request) and that I may bless God with you and all the elect forever. I
promise you, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I
will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron and to
gratefully encourage devotion to you, Amen.
