Most Holy Apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, I humbly beg your powerful intercession. In my tribulations and sufferings, I turn to you as my special and powerful patron. Grant me the grace to persevere through these challenges, and bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Loving God, I gratefully encourage devotion to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of lost causes, and I trust in your healing power. Bless me with courage and strength, and may my faith remain steadfast. Amen.
