Oh gloriosísimo Apóstol San Judas. Siervo fiel y amigo de Jesús, el nombre del traidor que entregó a vuestro querido Maestro en manos de sus enemigos, ha sido la causa de que muchos os hayan olvidado, pero la Iglesia os honra e invoca universalmente como Patrón de los casos difíciles y desesperados. Rogad por mí, que soy tan miserable y haced uso, os ruego, de éste privilegio especial a vos concedido, de socorrer visible y prontamente, cuando casi se ha perdido toda esperanza. Venid en mi ayuda en esta gran necesidad para que reciba los consuelos y socorro del cielo en todas mis necesidades, tribulaciones y sufrimientos. Particularmente (haga aquí las súplicas especiales que desea obtener) y para que bendiga a Dios, con vos y con todos los escogidos por toda la eternidad. Os prometo, Gloriosa San Judas, acordarme siempre de este gran favor y nunca dejaré de honraros como a mi especial y poderoso protector, y hacer todo lo que pueda para fomentar vuestra devoción. Amén. Diga esta oración 9 veces al día y rece 9 Credos, durante 9 días, prometiendo publicarla al octavo día. Perdón por la tardanza. S. A. J.

Thank you St. Jude.
