me"

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 depths 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. Saint Jude pray for me and all those

world, now & forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, please
pray for me. Saint Jude, Worker of Miracles, please
pray for me. Saint Jude, Helper of the Hopeless, please
pray for me. Amen."
"O most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend
of Jesus, people honor and invoke you universally, as the
patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray
for me, for I am so helpless and alone. Please
help to bring me visible and speedy assistance. 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 (state your request) and that I may
praise God with you always."

"Blessed Apostle St. Jude, we call upon you for help in
hope and utmost confidence. St Jude renowned help of
the hopeless, come to my aid in this time of distress.
St. Jude, cousin of our Lord, obtain from our Savior the favors
I now need and seek, especially _________."
"Glorious St. Jude with faith in your goodness I ask your
help today. As
one of Christ's chosen Apostles, you remain a pillar and
foundation of His
Church on earth. You are counted we know, among the
elders who always stand before God's throne. From your
place of glory we know you do not forget the needs and difficulties
of Christ's little ones here still struggling, like me,
on the way home to God. Please intercede for me, gracious
St. Jude, and be with me in my daily toil and in all my necessities,
especially _________. In Christ's name, I appeal
to you again today. Amen."
"St. Jude, through prayer you praised God for the wonderful
works of Jesus. You asked God for the strength to meet the
challenges of your apostolate. You put your trust in God's
mercy, believing firmly that God loved you and understood
your joys and sorrows, your hopes and fears, and your triumphs
and failures. You understood that nothing is impossible for
God. I ask you to pray for me now before the Most High so
that I too might be filled with God's saving power, understand
God's will for me and faithfully place myself in God's
loving hands."
"St. Jude, you remained faithful to our Lord, even unto death.
You gave your life so that others might live. You endured
physical pain and emotional abandonment. But you gladly joined
your sufferings to those of our Savior, Jesus, and thus shared
in the redemption of the world. I ask you now to intercede
with our brother, Jesus Christ on my behalf, so that I too
can find strength in the face of my suffering. Help
me to trust in God and put my life in his hands."
"St. Jude, glorious apostle,
faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the person
who betrayed our Lord has caused you to be forgotten by many,
but the true Church invokes you universally as the Patron
of things despaired of. Pray for me, who is so miserable;
pray for me, that I may finally receive the consolations of
Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings,
particularly (mention your request here), and that
I may bless God with the Saints through all Eternity."

and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to

Special Request:
St. Jude, glorious apostle, faithful servant and friend of
Jesus, the name of the traitor has caused you to be forgotten
by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally
as the patron of difficult and desperate cases. 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 was 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 elect throughout all eternity.
I promise you, 0 blessed JUDE, to be ever mindful of this
great favor. I will honor you as my special and powerful patron
and encourage devotion to you.
St. Jude, pray for us and for all who honor and invoke your
aid.
Prayer When in Marital Difficulty:
Saint Jude, we have problems with our marriage. Beg Almighty
God to give us the light to see ourselves and each other as
we really are. Help us to grow daily in self-knowledge and
mutual love, while at the same time developing our potential
to love and be loved. Help us, Saint Jude, to see and root
out every manifestation of selfishness and childish self seeking
-- those hidden enemies of love and maturity. Thus learning
to love and being filled with love, we may complement each
other the remaining days of married life.
Prayer for an Alcoholic:
Saint Jude help me in this sickness which is spiritual, psychological
and physical. Strengthen my weak faith, no matter what may
befall me. Teach me to be patient and serene in the midst
of troubles. Saint Jude, help me so that nothing will upset
me or weaken my determination to stay sober and abstain from
alcoholic drink.
Prayer for those with a Mental Sickness:
Compassionate Saint Jude, you have restored health and soundness
of mind to so many through the Power of God, see me -- (or
here mention the person afflicted) -- in this suffering. Confident
of your powerful intercession, I beg you to ask Jesus, the
merciful Healer of the sick to restore me -- (name of person)
-- that helped by His love I -- (he, she) -- may experience
once more that great gift of mental health.
Prayer for those in Need of Financial Aid:
Saint Jude, assist us in our present financial worry. Since
these difficult financial circumstances have come into our
lives, we are in dire want and economic embarrassment, being
unable to meet our honest debts. Saint Jude, you know only
too well, we are not asking for wealth, if the possession
of it is not in accordance with the holy will of God. We beg
you only for that immediate assistance which will enable us
to meet and satisfy our pressing obligations. We plead with
you, Dear Jude, to obtain for us the financial assistance
we so urgently need in our present financial difficulty.
Prayer in Physical Sickness:
Saint Jude, I have not the strength to pray as I ought. Nothing
is able to give me any relief. My courage is faltering, impatience
and loneliness are clouding my mind and my heart. Obtain for
me, Saint Jude, the courage and resignation to accept all
these trials from the hand of God with faith and patience.
If it is for the good of my soul, grant that I may recover
my former health so that I may be of assistance to others.
Prayer for Help in Overcoming
a Physical Illness:
"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
spirits, and to instill hope in his/her hearts. Amen."
Prayer for those Suffering from an Addiction
to Drugs:
Dear Saint Jude, drug addiction has caused a terrible upset
in my family. The victim of this self-inflicted sickness has
lost all sense of true reality - the reality of love as well
as the reality of life. Beg Almighty God to make this addict
aware that true euphoria can only be found in heaven and not
with chemical dependence.
Prayer of Bereavement at the Death of a Loved
One:
Saint Jude, you know the loneliness of my heart since God
took (name of person) to his eternal reward. Make me realize
taking (name of person) from me was not for my harm, but that
I might look for (him/her ) always in your presence.
Prayer for a Peaceful Death:
Oh, my Lord and Saviour, support me in that hour in the strong
arms of Your Sacraments, and by the fresh fragrance of Your
consolations. Let the absolving words be said over me, and
the holy oil sign and seal me, and Your own Body be my food,
and Your Blood my sprinkling; and let my sweet Mother Mary
breathe on me, and my Angel whisper peace to me, and my glorious
Saints ... smile upon me; that in them all and through them
all, I may receive the gift of perseverance, and die, as I
desire to live, in Your faith, in Your Church, in Your service,
and in Your love. Amen.
