faithful servant and friend of Jesus,
the name of the traitor who delivered
your beloved Master into the hands of the enemies
has caused you to be forgotten by many,
but the Church honors and invokes you
universally as the patron of hopeless cases
and of things despaired of.
Pray for me who am so needy;
make use, I implore you of that particular
privilege accorded to you to bring visible
and speedy help where help is almost despaired.
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 petitions in silence)
and that I may bless God with you
and all the elect throughout eternity.
I promise you, O blessed Jude to be ever mindful
of this great favor,
and I will never cease to honor you as my special
and powerful patron and to do all in my power
to encourage devotion to you.
Amen.
