Most holy apostle, St. Jude,
faithful servant and friend of Jesus,
the Church honors and invokes you universally,
as the patron of hopeless cases,
of things most despaired of.
Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.
Make use I implore you, of that
particular privilege given to you,
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
(here make your request)
that I may praise God with you
and all the elect forever.
I promise, O blessed St. Jude,
to be ever mindful of this great favour,
to always honor you as my
special and powerful patron,
and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
