Most holy Apostle, Saint Jude Thaddeus, faithful servant and friend of Jesus!
The name of the traitor who delivered the beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused many to forget you. But the Church honours you and invokes you everywhere as the patron of hopeless cases and of situations where no hope is left.
Pray for me, who am so helpless. I ask you to use that particular gift given to you — to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of.
Come to my aid in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and help of Heaven in all my troubles, needs and sufferings, especially (say your request here), and that together with you and all the elect I may praise God for ever and ever.
I promise you, most blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, never to cease honouring you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to spread devotion to you. Amen.
After the prayer: Our Father, Hail Mary (or “Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos”), Glory Be.
Pray together with others
