Thanksgiving Novena to St. Jude

    O Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr,
        Great in virtue and rich in miracles,
    Near kinsman of Jesus Christ,
        Faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage
            in time of need,
    To you I have recourse from the depth of my heart
        And humbly beg to whom God has given such great power
            to come to my assistance.
    Help me in my present and urgent petition.  In return,
        I promise to make your name known, and cause you
            to be invoked.

    Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, and three Glorias.

    St. Jude, pray for us and all who invoke your aid.  Amen.

    This Novena has never been known to fail.
    Publication must be promised.
