Prayer to St. Jude
St. Jude, glorious Apostle,
faithful servant and friend
of Jesus, the name of the traitor
has caused you to be forgotten
by many, but the true Church
invokes you universally as the
Patron of things despaired of;
pray for me, who am so
miserable; pray for me, that
finally I may receive the
consolations and the succor of
Heaven in all my necessities,
tribulations and sufferings,
particularly (here make your
request), and that I may bless
God with the Elect throughout
Eternity.
Amen.
