Opening Prayer

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.

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

May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be praised and glorified,
now and forever. 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.

Our Father

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Closing Prayer

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.
