Prayer to St. Jude

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors you as the patron of hopeless cases and of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, for I am helpless and alone.

Make use of that 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, and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. Amen.
