Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, please intercede on behalf of my father, Salvatore, today that he may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all his necessities, tribulations and suffering, particularly that his colon surgery is successful and that he is healed and recovers with no complications . I promise St. Jude to be ever mindful of this great favor and to always encourage devotion to you. Amen
