Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of difficult and desperate cases. Pray for me, for I am in distress. Come to my aid in this time of need. Help me to recognize God’s purpose in my trials and to trust His divine will. Intercede for me, that I may receive the consolation and help of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (mention your intention here). I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor. I will honor you always as my special and powerful patron, and I will encourage devotion to you with love and gratitude. Amen.
