Saint Jude The Apostle, Patron in Cases of Despair
and or Desperation


Prayer of Praise and Thanksgiving

It was revealed to St. Gertrude that it is a source of great joy to the Saints when we praise and thank God for the graces and privileges He has bestowed upon them. Clients of St. Jude should recite the following act of thanksgiving frequently.

O MOST SWEET Lord Jesus Christ, in union with the unutterable praise with which the Most Holy Trinity extols Itself and which thence flows upon Thy Sacred Humanity, upon Mary, upon all the Angels and Saints, I praise, glorify and bless Thee for all the graces and privileges Thou hast bestowed upon Thy chosen Apostle and intimate friend, St. Jude Thaddeus. I implore Thee, for the sake of his merits, to grant me Thy grace, and through his intercession to come to my aid in all my needs. Especially at the hour of my death, deign to strengthen me against the rage of my enemies. Amen.

Note: In great affliction one may promise the Apostle, in case he will help, to distribute a certain number of prayer booklets in thanksgiving. This means of spreading devotion to him is an effective way of obtaining his help. Contact TAN BOOKS for bulk rate. Ask for the booklet, ST. JUDE THADDEUS, Helper in Desperate Cases. A single booklet is only 2 dollars and has the Litany and all the Traditional Mass prayers, the Martyr's biography as well.

Prayer for a Sick Person

ALMIGHTY and Eternal God, the everlasting salvation of those who believe:
hear us on behalf of Thy servant, (Name), for whom we implore the aid of Thy tender mercy, that being
restored to bodily health, he (she) may give thanks to Thee in Thy Church, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
