PRAYER TO SAINT JUDE
O most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and
friend of Jesus -- People honor and invoke you universally, as the patron of
hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, for I am so helpless
and alone. Please help to bring me visible and speedy assistance. 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 (state
your request) and that I may praise God with you always. I promise, O blessed
St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my
special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you by
publishing this request. Amen.
