To be said in cases despaired of
St. Jude, glorious Apostle,
faithful servant and friend of Jesus,
the name of the traitor has caused you to be forgotten by many,
but the true Church invokes you universally
as the Patron of things despaired of;
pray for me,
who am so miserable;
pray for me,
that finally I may receive the consolations
and the succour of Heaven in all my necessities,
tribulations and sufferings, particularly
(here make your request),
and that I may bless God with the Elect throughout Eternity.
Amen.
St. Jude, Apostle, martyr and relative of our Lord Jesus Christ,
of Mary and of Joseph,
intercede for us.
