O glorious apostle, St Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus. I come to you in my time of need. I and several members of my family have been diagnosed and treated for various cancers. I am now burdened by financial difficulties and ask for your powerful intercession. You who are the patron of hopeless cases, please do not abandon me or my family. I pray that you will ask God to grant me relief from these financial burdens, and to provide me with the means to meet my needs and to help those around me as well. May I also find peace and tranquillity in this difficult time. I promise to spread your devotion and give thanks for your help. I also promise to help those in need around me where I am able to. I have faith that you will hear my prayer and intercede on my behalf. Amen.
