prayer to saint jude thaddeus (for helpless cases)
Prayer:
O glorious apostle, Saint Jude Thadeus,
true relative of Jesus and Mary,
pray for me who am so miserable.
Make use, I implore you,
of that particular priviledge accorded to you
to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of.
Come to my assistance
that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven
in all my necessities,
tribulations and sufferings,
particularly in this my present great need (request).
Grant that I may bless God with you
and all the elect forever.
Amen.
