Prayer to St. Jude
Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus,
the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult
cases, of things almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.
Intercede with God for me that He bring visible and speedy help where help is
almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive
the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and
sufferings, particularly - (make your request here)
and that I may praise God with you and all the saints forever.
I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor granted me
by God and to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully
encourage devotion to you.
Amen
May the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, and
loved in all the tabernacles until the end of time. Amen.
May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be praised and
glorified now and forever. Amen
