Saint Jude, saint of impossible causes, I place myself in your care. Help me know that with you at my side I am never alone. Please join me in asking God to send me consolation in my sorrow, courage in my fear, and healing in the midst of my suffering. Ask God to fill me with the grace to accept whatever may lie ahead for me and to strengthen my faith in His healing power. Amen.

Each candle comes with a prayer to the patron saint, holy oil as part of the wax, and a prayer coin embedded into the candle. Before the first lighting, read out loud the prayer to the patron saint, then light the candle. Once the wax has burned all the way down after many uses, remove the coin at the bottom and keep it in your wallet, purse, or car - or bury it in your yard as a way of blessing the entire household.
