O Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ; the faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly beg you, to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return I propose to make your name known and cause your name to be invoked. Three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, three Glories. St. Jude pray for us and all who invoke your aid, publication must be promised. This novena has never known to fail. J
