Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and
invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost dispaired of, Pray
for me, I am so helpless and alone.
Intercede with God for me that He 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 and tribulations and sufferings, particularly
[make your request here]
and that I may praise God with you and all the saints, forever. I promise, O Blessed St.
Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor granted me by God and to always honor you
as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen
May the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, and love in all the tabernacles until the end
of time. Amen
May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be praised and glorified now and forever. Amen
St. Jude, pray for us and hear our prayers. Amen
Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Blessed be the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Blessed be St. Jude Thaddeus, in all the world and for all Eternity
(Say this prayer, followed by the Our Father and the Hail Mary)
Dear Apostle and Martyr for Christ, you left us an Epistle in the New Testament. With good
reason many invoke you when illness is at a desperate stage. We now recommend to your
kindness
(name of patient)
who is in a critical condition. May the cure of this patient increase his/her faith and love for
the Lord of Life, for the glory of our merciful God. Amen
