Prayer to St Jude

I wanted to put this in the blog. I read the Lung Cancer Alliance website every day and I am almost always brought to tears. There are so many people suffering with lung cancer and they go through so much before their demise. Someone posted this prayer to St Jude. I hope I never need it....but just in case:

Most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the
church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of
things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use I
implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and
speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this
great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my
necessities, tribulations and sufferings particularly (here make your request)
and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise O
blessed St. Jude to be ever mindful of this great favor.
