Powerful plea to Saint Jude Thaddeus for a desperate cause

O St. Judas Thaddeus, Apostle of Jesus, I greet you in his Heart and through this Heart I praise and thank God for all the favors he has granted you. Humbly prostrate before you, I ask you for the Heart of Jesus to turn a gaze of compassion on me and not to reject my poor prayer, so that my trust will not be in vain. God gave you the power to help the needy with your powerful intercession. So come to my aid, so that I can praise the mercy of God. For all my life I will be your fervent and grateful devotee, until I can come to praise you in Heaven. Amen.
