Saint
Joseph
Prayer to St. Jude
Glorious
Saint Jude, with faith in your goodness I ask your help today. As one
of Christ's chosen Apostles, you are a pillar and foundation of His
Church on earth. You are among the elders who stand always before
God's throne.
Brother Jude, you are renowned for your kinship
with Christ and your physical resemblance to our Savior. Help me
remain close to Christ and resemble Him in my outlook and
actions.
Holy Apostle, you are venerated for your work of
preaching the gospel and your faithfulness to Christ by a martyr's
death. Assist me to preach the good news of Christ by word and
example, and remain steadfast in His service as you were.
From
your place of glory, do not forget the need and difficulties of
Christ's little ones like me, still struggling on the way home to
God. Pray for me that I may receive the consolation and help of
heaven in my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly
(name special problem) and that I may praise God with you and all the
elect forever.
Intercede for us all, gracious, brother St.
Jude, and pray for us to the Lord our God in our daily toil and our
necessities. Amen.
