Prayer to St. Jude Thaddeus in Difficult Cases

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege given to thee, 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 consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly in my present petition, and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect forever. I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen.
