St Jude, Patron of Hopeless Causes



St. Jude, glorious apostle, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the person who betrayed our Lord has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the true Church invokes you universally as the Patron of things despaired of. Pray for me, who is so miserable; pray for me, that I may finally receive the consolations and the succour of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (ADD YOUR PERSONAL REQUEST HERE), and that I may bless God with the Elect Throughout Eternity.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be Adored, Glorified, Loved & Preserved throughout the world, now & forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, please pray for me. Saint Jude, Worker of Miracles, please pray for me. Saint Jude, Helper of the Hopeless, please pray for me. Amen.

Have never heard of the Shrine of St Jude at Faversham - is it for real or are you having us on?

There is a beautiful post about St Jude on the blog 'These Stone Walls' - if you have not visited it do go and read.

That's a beautiful picture of Saint Jude.

Here in the Southwest, Mexicans have a great devotion to Saint Jude, but use a statue to depict him that I think is not as beautiful as your picture.

Is there any way of getting the full size that I may have it reprinted and hand out to the Faithful?

I would be most appreciative.

Que Dios nos agarre confesados.
