Need a Miracle? Here’s St. Jude’s Powerful Prayer for Desperate & Hopeless Cases

 

Have you ever asked St. Jude for prayers?

St. Jude, also known as St. Jude Thaddaeus, was one of Christ’s 12 apostles. He also wrote the Epistle of St. Jude.

Not much is recorded about this apostle, however, there is some evidence that both St. Jude and St. James the Less are cousins to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

It is said that Jesus appeared to St. Bernard of Clairvaux,  asking him “to accept St. Jude as ‘The Patron Saint of the Impossible.’

Jesus also told St. Bridget to dedicate an altar in her church to St. Jude. Jesus said, “The fifth altar…must be for Thaddeus who with the purity of his heart will undoubtedly conquer the devil.”

The Church celebrates St. Jude’s feast day on Oct. 28. He is the patron of impossible, desperate, and hopeless cases.

Prayer to St. Jude, Patron of Impossible, Desperate, & Hopeless Cases

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus,

the Church honors and invokes you universally,

as the patron of difficult cases,

of things almost despaired of.

Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.

Intercede with God for me

that He 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 help of heaven

in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly…

(make your request here)

…and that I may praise God with you

and all the saints forever.

I promise, O Blessed St. Jude,

to be ever mindful of this great favor

granted me by God

and to always honor you

as my special and powerful patron,

and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.

Amen.

Prayer 

May the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored and loved in all the tabernacles until the end of time. Amen.

St. Jude, pray for us and hear our prayers. Amen.

Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Blessed be the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Blessed be St. Jude Thaddeus, in all the world and for all Eternity.

Prayer for Healing of the Sick 

(say this prayer, followed by the Our Father and the Hail Mary)

Dear Apostle and Martyr for Christ,

you left us an Epistle in the New Testament.

With good reason many invoke you

when illness is at a desperate stage.

We now recommend to your kindness (name of patient), who is in a critical condition.

May the cure of this patient increase his/her faith and love for the Lord of Life,

for the glory of our merciful God.

Amen.

St. Jude, patron of the impossible, please pray for us!

The Novena - a prayer said nine days in a row - to Saint Jude is:

"Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor for all who invoke thee, special patron in time of need; to thee I have recourse from the depth of my heart, and humbly beg thee, to whom God hath given such great power, to come to my assistance; help me now in my urgent need and grant my earnest petition. I will never forget thy graces and the favors thou dost obtain for me and I will do my utmost to spread devotion to thee. Amen."
