Saint
Joseph
Most holy
Apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of
the traitor who delivered the beloved Master
into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many,
but the Church honors and invokes you
universally as the patron of hopeless cases, of things despaired of.
Pray for me who am so miserable, make use, I implore you, of
this particular privilege accorded 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
consolations and succor of Heaven in all my necessities,
tribulations and sufferings, particularly (here make your request),
and that I may bless God with
you and all the elect forever. I promise you, O blessed St. Jude, to
be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to
honor you as my special and powerful patron and to do all in my power
to encourage devotion to you.
Amen
