O most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honours and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost 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),
and that I may praise God with you and all the saints forever.
Amen
St. Jude, often known as the patron saint of hopeless cases, inspires faith, hope, and perseverance. As one of the twelve apostles, he spread the Gospel courageously, and people turn to him for intercession in times of difficulty. His life reminds us of God’s power to work miracles and bring hope even in seemingly impossible situations. St. Jude encourages families and parish communities to never lose faith, no matter how challenging life becomes, trusting that God’s love and mercy will guide them through every trial.
