NOVENA
TO ST. JUDE
St.
Jude, glorious Apostle, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the
name of the traitor has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the
true Church invokes you universally as the Patron of things despaired
of; pray for me, that finally I may receive the consolations the
succor of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings,
particularly (here make your request), and that I may bless God with
the Elect throughout eternity. Amen
A
Variation of the above novena.
PRAYER
IN TRIALS
(To
be said in great affliction, or when one seems to be deprived of all
visible help, and for cases despaired of).
Most
Holy Apostle, Saint 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 thee to be forgotten by many but the
Church honors and invokes you universally, as the Patron Saint of
Hopeless Cases, of things most despaired of. Pray for me
who am so miserable; make use, I implore thee, of that particular
privilege accorded to thee, 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 succor of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations
and sufferings, particularly (here make your request), and that I may
bless God with thee and all the elect forever.
I
promise thee, oh Blessed Saint Jude, to be ever mindful of this great
favor and I will never cease to honour thee as my special and
powerful patron and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to
thee. Amen.
May
the most just, most high and most adorable Will of God be in all
things done, praised and magnified, forever and ever. Amen
