PRAYER TO ST. JUDE THADDEUS FOR HOPELESS CAUSES

 

 

 

O Glorious St. Jude Thaddeus,

by those sublime privileges

which so ennobled thee in thy lifetime:

 

Relationship according to the flesh

with Our Lord Jesus Christ and the apostolate;

by that glory, which,

as the reward for thy labors and martyrdom,

thou dost now enjoy in heaven;

 

Obtain for us from the Giver of every good

all the graces we need to enable

us to profit greatly by that divinely

inspired doctrine which thou

hast handed down to us in they Epistle:

 That is, to build the edifice of perfection

upon the foundation of faith,

praying through the grace of the Holy Spirit;

to keep ourselves always in the love of God,

looking for the mercy of Jesus Christ

unto life everlasting; and to help

by every available means those who go astray.     

 

(Make the Request)

 

Thus shall we exalt the glory, the majesty,

 the dominion, the authority, of Him,

who is able to preserve us without sin

and keep us without blemish     

and in gladness unto the coming

of Our Lord Jesus Christ, God, our Savior.     

 

Amen.
