Pray this Novena 6 times a day for 9 days consecutively, or alternatively once a day for 54 days consecutively.
Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus
The Church honors and invokes you universally
as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost despaired of.
Pray for me.
I am so helpless and alone.
Intercede with God for me, that He bring visible and speedy help
where help is almost despaired of.
Come to my assistance in this great need
That I may receive the consolation and help of Heaven,
in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly
….(make your request here) …
And that I may praise God with you,
and all the saints, forever.
I promise, O Blessed St.Jude,
to be ever mindful of this great favor granted me by God
And to always honor you
as my special and powerful patron,
and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
Amen.
May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus
be adored and loved in all the tabernacles,
until the end of time. Amen.
May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus
be praised and glorified, now and forever. Amen.
St. Jude, pray for us and hear our prayers. Amen.
Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Blessed be the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Blessed be St. Jude Thaddeus,
in all the world, and for all eternity.
Amen.
(Say 3 Our Father’s, 3 Hail Mary’s, and 3 Glory Be’s after this.)
Our Father Prayer :
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed by Thy name
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as
we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Marys :
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Glory be :
Glory to be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, the world without end.
Amen.
In addition to saying a prayer, we can invoke St Jude aid by offering Holy Masses and Communions in his honor. Another suggestion is to pray during Perpetual Adoration, or engage in charitable works in his name.
I also add Rosary Prayer to my Novena after St. Jude Thaddeus prayer.
