St. Jude Thaddeuss

St. Jude is considered the patron saint for hopeless cases. Many people overlook this saint since his name is so similar to Judas. St. Jude was one of the chosen 12 Apostles. You will see this Novena with a thank you posted in newspapers from many who sought his intercession. The Novena Prayer To Saint Jude:

Most Holy Apostle, St. Jude,
faithful servant and friend of Jesus:
the name of the traitor who delivered your
beloved Master into the hands of His
enemies has caused you to be forgotten
by many, but the Church honors and
invokes you throughout the
world as the patron of hopeless cases.
Pray for me, make use, I implore you,
of that particular privilege accorded
to you to bring visible and speedy
help where help is most desired.
Come to my assistance in this great need,
that I may receive the consolation
and comfort of Heaven in all my needs,
tribulations, and sufferings, particularly
(Here make your request)
and that I may praise God with you and all
the elect forever. Amen
