Patron of Hopeless and Desperate Cases
O most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the church honors 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 (state your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever.
I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen.

True relative
Of Jesus and Mary,
I salute you through
This Sacred Heart of Jesus!
Through his Heart
I praise and thank God
For all the graces
He has bestowed upon you.
Humbly prostrate before you
I implore you,
Through His Heart,
To look down upon me
With compassion.
Despite my poor prayer;
Let not my trust
Be confounded!
To you God has granted
The privilege of
Aiding mankind
In the most desperate cases.
Oh, come to my aid
Until I can thank you in heaven.
All my life
I will be your grateful client
Until I can thank you in heaven.
Amen.
St. Jude, pray for us
And for all who invoke your aid.
Amen.
(to be prayed for 9 consecutive days)
