We invite you to say a prayer below to our most powerful patron, St. Jude. You can also share the hope of St. Jude by forwarding this opportunity for prayer to those you know who are in need of St. Jude's intercession, and let St. Jude intercede in your life by sending your prayers and petitions to the altar of St. Jude at the National Shrine of St. Jude. These St Jude prayers appeal to the powerful saint for healing and hope for impossible or especially difficult cases. Together, let us share the hope of St. Jude with a world in need.
Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to 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 (here make your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever.
I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's tender mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which will be revealed to me when I am at God's right hand in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love.
Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, friend of Jesus, I place myself in your care at this difficult time. Pray for me; help me know that I need not face my troubles alone.
Please join me in my need, asking God to send me consolation in my sorrow, courage in my fear, and healing in the midst of my suffering.
Ask our loving God to fill me with the grace to accept whatever may lie ahead for me and my loved ones, and to strengthen my faith in God's healing power.
Thank you, St. Jude, for the promise of hope you hold out to all who believe, and inspire me to give this gift of hope to others as it has been given to me.
Through your gentle and powerful ways, St. Jude, I come to know the calming presence of God in my life. I pray that I will find my heart's quiet places, and that there I will know peace. For your peace is my peace, St. Jude. And my peace is the peace of those who know me. The peace that calms nations is the same peace that calms my own heart. Help me, St. Jude, to know that my hope in you is my gift to the world. May God's steadfast faith in His children lead us to forgiveness, the root of all peace. May St. Jude intercede for my suffering, and for the sufferings of war, sickness, and heartache throughout the world.
Dear St. Jude, my devotion to you is the source of my hope. You give me courage to face my challenges and joy to celebrate my successes with grace. I know that my prayers to you invoke God's healing love. Help me to live with kindness and compassion so that I may honor my holy self. I pray that today I will share with the world the person God created me to be. God lives in me, and it is only in Him that I will truly be filled. Help me to discover God's blessings through your company, St. Jude, so that my journey of faith will be strengthened by the power of our unified prayers and the mercy of our loving God.
St. Jude, you are with me in all that is new. May your path of hope be mine in the days ahead. I promise in faith to share your hope with others, to forgive as I am forgiven by my Father in heaven, and to show sympathy and kindness at every opportunity. Guide me, St. Jude, so that I will begin each new day with gratitude on my lips, with truth on my mind, and with hope in my heart. Challenge me, St. Jude, so that I will end each day reflecting on my actions and motivations so that I will grow in faith, love, and hope.
Dearest protector, St. Jude, my companion, you are the bearer of abiding hope. I place myself in your care as I bear the cross of cancer.
I trust that you walk with me, giving me courage when I am afraid, strength when I grow weary, hope when it seems all is lost. Most faithful patron, never leave my side.
May our friendship remind me always of the love God offers to each of His faithful children, and the healing He provides to all those who believe in His saving power.
The National Shrine of St. Jude and the St. Jude League are a mission of The Claretians and exist to bring together devotees of St. Jude in a community of prayer and hope.
