Priest or leader: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
People: O glorious apostle, St. Jude Thaddeus, true relative of Jesus and Mary, I salute you through the most Sacred Heart of Jesus! Through this Heart I praise and thank God for all the graces He has bestowed upon you. As I humbly prostrate before you, I implore you through this Heart to look down upon me with compassion. Oh, despise not my poor prayer; let not my trust be confounded! To you God has granted the privilege of aiding mankind in the most desperate cases. Oh, come to my aid that I may praise the mercies of God! All my life I will be grateful to you and will be your faithful follower until I can thank you in heaven. Amen.

Priest or leader: Blessed Apostle, with confidence we invoke you!

Priest or leader: St. Jude, help of the hopeless, aid me in my distress.
People: St. Jude, help of the hopeless, aid me in my distress.
Most holy apostle, Saint Jude Thaddeus, 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 as I present my needs; make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired. 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). May I bless God with you and all the elect throughout all eternity.

I promise you, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron and do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father.
Saint Jude Thaddeus, pray for us and for all who honor you and invoke your aid.

Hymn to St. Jude

Apostle of Jesus,
A martyr saint of old,
The cousin of Our Savior,
Of whom thy love hath told;
A writer of the Scriptures
With tongues of fire aflame,
The worker great of wonders
ln Jesus' Holy Name.
The worker great of wonders
ln Jesus' Holy Name.

St. Jude, though oft forgotten
Thou shalt remembered be;
We hail thee now in glory
And have recourse to thee
For help for the despairing
When hopeless seems the task.
And from the Heart of Jesus
Through thee we favors ask.
And from the Heart of Jesus
Through thee we favors ask.
