This prayer is a simple but powerful plea to Saint Jude to intercede on our behalf and to grant us the favor that we seek. It can be used for any situation, from the mundane to the profound, and it can be recited at any time, whenever we feel the need for Saint Jude’s assistance.
The prayer goes as follows:
“O most holy apostle, Saint Jude Thaddeus, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of his 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 miserable; make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded 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 in (here make your request) and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I vow to you, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and to never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.”
When reciting this prayer, it is important to do so with faith, devotion, and a sincere heart. Saint Jude is not a magician or a genie who can grant our wishes on a whim; rather, he is a faithful servant of God who is always looking out for our best interests. By offering up our prayers to him, we are asking him to help us in the way that he sees fit, according to God’s will.
But even as we put our trust in Saint Jude, we must also remember that we have a role to play in the outcome of our situation. We must do our part, working hard, staying positive, and trusting that God has a plan for our lives, even in the face of adversity. With Saint Jude’s help, we can find the strength, courage, and wisdom to make it through even the toughest of times, and to emerge stronger and more faithful than ever before.
