Prayer to St. Jude

Prayer to St. Jude Thaddeus

Most Holy Apostle, St. Jude Thaddeus, 

Faithful servant and friend of Jesus

The name of the traitor who delivered 

Your beloved Master into

The hands of the enemies has caused you 

To be forgotten by many.

But the church honors you, 

and I invoke you as the special advocate of those

Who are in trouble and almost without hope.

Help me to realize that through our faith 

We triumph over life's difficulties

By the power of Jesus 

Who loved us and gave His life for us.

Come to my assistance 

That I may receive the consolation 

And succor of heaven 

In all my needs, trials and sufferings,

particularly (here make your request) 

And that I may praise God 

With you and all the saints forever.

St. Jude, apostle of the Word of God, pray for us

St. Jude, follower of the Son of God, pray for us

St. Jude, intercessor before God, pray for us

St. Jude, pray for us, and for all who invoke your aid 

AMEN.

Prayer for a Drug Addict

Prayer for a Drug Addict

Dear Saint Jude,

Drug addiction has caused 

A terrible upset in my family.

The victim of this self-inflicted sickness

Has lost all sense of true reality -

The reality of love as well as 

The reality of life.

Beg Almighty God to make this addict

Aware that the true euphoria

Can only be found in heaven

And not with chemical dependence

Amen.

Prayer for Health

Prayer for Health

Saint Jude,

I have not the strength to pray as I ought

Nothing is able to give me any relief.

My courage is faltering, impatience and loneliness

Are clouding my mind and my heart.

Obtain for me, Saint Jude,

the courage and resignation to accept

All these trials from the hand of God with faith and patience.

If it is for the good of my soul,

Grant that I may recover my former health

So that I may be of assistance to others.

Amen

Prayer When in Need of Financial Aid

Prayer When in Need of Financial Aid

Saint Jude, 

assist us in our present financial worry.

Since these difficult financial circumstances

have come into our lives,

we are in dire want and economic embarrassment

being unable to meet our honest debts.

Saint Jude,

you know only too well,

we are not asking for wealth,

if possession of it is not in 

accordance with the Holy will of God.

We beg you only for that immediate assistance

which will enable us to meet 

and satisfy our pressing obligation.

We plead with you, 

Dear Jude, to obtain for us

the financial assistance we so urgently need 

in our present financial difficulty.

Amen

Prayer for Marital Difficulty

Prayer for Marital Difficulty

Saint Jude, we have problems with our marriage.

Beg Almighty God to give us the light to see 

ourselves and each other as we are really are.

Help us to grow daily in self-knowledge and

mutual love, while at the same time developing 

our potential to love and be loved.

Help us, Saint Jude, to see and root our every

manifestation of selfishness and childish self seeking-

those hidden enemies of love and maturity.

Thus learning to love and being filled with love,

we may compliment each other 

the remaining days of our married life.

Prayer for Special Request

Prayer for Special Request

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 Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of difficult 

and desperate cases. Pray for me who am so miserable.

Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you 

to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of.

Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive

the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and 

sufferings, particularly -- (here make your request) -- and that I may praise

God with you and all the elect throughout all eternity.

I promise you, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor.

I will honor you as my special and powerful patron and encourage devotion to you.

St Jude, pray for us and for all who honor and invoke your aid.

Don't Quit

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seem all up hill,

When the funds are low and debts are high

And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit.

Rest, if you must, but don't you quit

Life is queer with its twist and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many failures turns about

When me might won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow-

You may succeed with another blow

Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tints of cloud and doubts,

And you can never can tell how close you are, 

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Prayer to St. Jude for Healing

Prayer to St. Jude for Healing

Most Holy Apostle St. Jude,

I place myself into your care.

Pray for me; help me remember that

I am not alone in my struggle

Please join me in asking God 

to send me hope in my sorrows,

courage in my fear, and healing

in the midst of my challenges

Please ask our loving God to fill me

with the grace to accept whatever

my life holds and to strengthen my faith

in His healing power.

Thank you St. Jude,

for the promise of hope to hold to

all who believe, and inspire me to give 

the gift of hope to others.

Amen.
