Prayer to St.
Jude
Most Holy Apostle St. Jude Thaddeus, faithful servant and friend of Jesus,
the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands
of the enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the Church
honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases and of
things despaired of. Pray for me who am so needy; make use, I implore
you of that particular privilege accorded to you to bring visible and speedy
help where help is almost despaired. Come to my assistance in this great
need that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my
necessities, tribulations, and sufferings particularly (here mention your
petition) and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout
eternity. I promise you, O blessed Jude to be ever mindful of this great
favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful
patron and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.
St. Jude Novena
O Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles,
near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your
special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the depth of
my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to
come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In
return, I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked.
St. Jude pray for us all who invoke your aid. Amen.
Hymn to St. Jude
St. Jude the oft forgotten, you shall remembered be. We hail you now in
glory and have recourse to you for help, for the despairing, when hopeless
seems the task and from the Heart of Jesus through you we favors ask.
Prayer to St. Jude for Physical Healing
St. Jude, you witnessed the healing power of our Lord Jesus. You saw His
compassion for the sick and dying. You yourself touched the sick, shared
the sorrows of the mournful, and encouraged the despairing. You received
this authority and healing power to work wonders, to cure the incurable, to
make people whole. We ask you to intercede with our brother, Jesus, to
send His saving grace to heal the sickness and suffering of
__________________, to uplift his/her despondent spirit, and to instill
hope in his/her heart. Amen.
Prayer to St. Jude in Times of Suffering
Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, I place
myself into your hands at this difficult time. Help me to know that I am
not alone. Please pray for me, asking God to send me comfort for my
sorrows, bravery for my fears, and healing for my suffering. Ask our
loving God to strengthen my faith and give me the courage to accept His
Will for my life. Thank you, St. Jude, for the hope you offer to all who
believe in you. Amen.
