Prayer to St. Jude Thaddeus, Patron Saint of Lost Causes and Desperate Situations:
Come St. Jude, wherever thou art,
Lest my world be torn apart,
Give me hope not to despair,
I turn myself to thy loving care
Bring my prayers to God in this hour,
That I be blessed by his power,
And do the same for those in distress,
That God may give them joyous rest
Repeat the following Novena every day for 9 consecutive days:
Let us begin, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O Blessed Charles the Good, whose love for God knew no bounds.
You knew tragedy when you were young with the death of your father and yet never let that push you from God.
You instead sought to serve him by working on behalf of the poor and the most vulnerable while rejecting the luxuries of the world.
For this, you were martyred as you prayed and yet it did not change the good you did.
I humbly ask that you pray for us now; that our own hearts may be open to God’s word and that we may may serve his creation, especially the most vulnerable, as you did. I especially ask for (mention your request here…)
And for us to be made more in the image of Christ.
Amen.
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory Be…
