(Saint Jude is the patron saint to ask for intercessions regarding serious problems, when feeling hopeless and alone, and for desperate cases.)
ST. JUDE NOVENA
O Glorious Apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and true relative of Jesus; the name of traitor has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors you universally as the Patron of hopeless cases and things despaired of. St Jude, pray for me who am so miserable. To you God has granted the privilege of aiding in most desperate cases. Come to my assistance in this great need.
(Please make your request.)
All of my life I will be grateful to God and to you, O Blesses St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor. 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.
Blessed Apostle with confidence we invoke thee. (2 x's)
St. Jude, help of the hopeless, aid me in my distress. (2 x's)
Pray one "Our Father", one "Hail May" and one "Glory Be".
