October 28th Feast Day Patron Saint of Desperate Cases Prayer to Saint Jude Dear Apostle and Martyr for Christ, you left us an Epistle in the New Testament. With good reason many invoke you when illness is at a desperate stage. We now recommend to your kindness who is in a critical condition. May the cure of this patient increase his/her faith and love for the Lord of Life, for the glory of our merciful God. Amen. All medals come packaged in a Creed® jewelry box.
