  • Check out these prayers to St. Jude that I found:

    St. Jude Prayer
    Oh glorious apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered thy beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused thee to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors and invokes thee universally as the patron of hopeless cases--of things despaired of. Pray for me who am so miserable; make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded thee of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly (mention your request), and that I may bless God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise thee, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor thee as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to thee. Amen


    Prayer to St. Jude
    O Holy St Jude!
    Apostle and Martyr,
    great in virtue and rich in miracles,
    near kinsman of Jesus Christ,
    faithful intercessor for all who invoke thee,
    special patron in time of need;
    to thee I have recourse from the depth of my heart,
    and humbly beg thee,
    to whom God has given such great power,
    to come to my assistance;
    help me now in my urgent need and grant my earnest petition.
    I will never forget thy graces and favors you obtain for me
    and I will do my utmost to spread devotion to thee. Amen.

    St. Jude, pray for us and all who honor thee and invoke thy aid.
    (Say 3 Our Father's, 3 Hail Mary’s, and 3 Glory Be’s after this.)


    St. Jude Novena

    Novena prayers must be said 6 times a day for 9 consecutive days leaving 9 copies in the Church each day.  Prayer will be answered on or before the 9th day & this has never been known to fail.

    May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be glorified & preserved, worshiped & adored throughout the world now & forever. Amen.
    Sacred Heart of Jesus pray for us.  St. Jude help for the hopeful, pray for us.  St. Jude worker of miracles, pray for us.
    Say this prayer followed by the Our Father & Hail Mary.

    (Make 81 copies & leave 9 copies in the Church for each consecutive 9 days.  You will receive your intention before the 9 days no matter how impossible it may seem.)

  • No offense to dear St. Jude, but are you kidding me?  

    The prayers are fine but this chain letter type nonsense "make 81 copies...." is silly.   It's stuff like this that makes Catholics look like fools.

    I agree.  I did find that part to be a little strange when I found the prayer.  But i'm sure St. Jude will answer without having to make 81 copies.

  • I don't know, D.  I don't have much success with my novenas, including the one I made to St. Jude. :smirk:

  • Perhaps God is just keeping you humble by not showing you how much success you have.
