Let Us Pray
0 St. Jude Thaddeus, thou re~ ati ve of Jesus
Christ, thou glorious apostle and martyr, renowned
.for thy virtues and miracles, faithful and prompt
intercessor of all who honor thee and trust in thee!
Thou art a powerful patron and helper in grievous
afflictions. I come to thee and entreat thee from the
depths of my heart; come to my aid with thy
powerful intercession, for thou hast received from
God the'privilege to assist with thy manifest help,
those who almost despair of all hope. Look down
upon me; my life is a life of crosses, my days are
days of tribulation and my heart is an ocean of
39
bitterness. All my paths are strewn with thorns and
scarcely one _moment pas~es but is. witnesses of tny
tears and sighs; uneas1n~ss, discouragement,
mistrust and almost despa!r prey upon my soul.
Thou canst not forsake me 1n this sad plight. I will
not depart from thee until thou hast heard me. Oh,
~asten t? my aid, I will be grateful to thee all my
hfe. I will honor thee as my special patron. I will ·
th~nk God for the gr~ces bestowed upon tJ}ee and
will encourage devotion to thee according to my
. power. Amen.
