St. Jude Prayer for Financial Help

Sign of the Cross. Amen.

St. Jude Thaddeus, Apostle of Jesus Christ, glorious Martyr and great intercessor in every difficult problem. Today, I turn to you with deep faith to ask for your generous assistance, as I am afflicted and tormented by severe financial problems.

You are my beloved saint, my blessed patron and noble protector; welcome my soul and my body, my mind and my heart.

I humbly prostrate before you. I ask you, by the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, that you cast on me a compassionate glance and despise not my heartfelt prayer, that my confidence be not in vain.

You who, in addition to a singular love, were united by kinship to our Divine Redeemer Jesus Christ — the source of all good — are a powerful aid of the desperate.

Pray for me, my patron saint, my aid, that, assisted by your precious intercession, I may receive a prompt and effective solution for my overwhelming needs: make it so that I obtain the money urgently needed to meet all my expenses, payments, and debts, and thereby have peace of mind and tranquility. Make it so, I beg you, with the certainty of being heard, that I obtain what I need so much: (ask for what you need).

Blessed St. Jude, I honor you with special affection and devotion; hand me the presence and strength of God. Protect me in all circumstances; may your help and consolation never cease. Obtain for me, by the grace of the Lord Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, deliverance, prosperity, work, and health; make it so that well-being is installed in my home.

As an expression of my affection and gratitude, I promise you I will promote an authentic devotion to you, and already from this moment, I infinitely give you thanks for all your favors.

So be it.

Conclude with the Apostles' Creed, Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be, each three times, followed by the Sign of the Cross.

I have turned to St. Jude many times over the past six years and have found his intercession especially helpful during periods of financial difficulty. I offer this prayer with gratitude for the help I have received and in the hope that it may bring comfort and encouragement to others.

St. Jude Thaddeus is traditionally invoked in desperate or seemingly hopeless situations, including financial difficulty. This prayer is said on three consecutive days. The association with financial help became widely known through Danny Thomas, whose devotion to St. Jude led him to found St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
