near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intecessor for all who invoke you,

special patron in time of need;

to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart, and humbly beg you,

to whom God has given such great power, to come to my assistance;

help me now in my urgent need and grant my earnest petition.

I will never forget the graces and favours you obtain for me

and I will do my utmost to spread devotion to you. Amen

St.Jude pray for us and for all who honour you and invoke your aid.

(say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, and three Glory be....)
