Send your petition to the Shrine
Dear Friend of St. Jude, May the Lord bless you and keep you and all those you love, especially those affected by cancer. Throughout today's liturgies at the National Shrine of St. Jude, we will pray in a special way for all those who suffer from cancer. I invite you to join us today, and on the first Wednesday of every month, as we call upon St. Jude's intercession for the healing of cancer. We pray together: God of healing mercy, in Jesus your Son you stretch out your hand in compassion, restoring the sinner, healing the sick, and lifting up those bowed down. Embrace us now in your loving care, particularly those afflicted with cancer, for whom this intention is offered. May the Spirit of Jesus bring us all health in soul and body, that with joy and thanksgiving we may praise you for your goodness, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Yours in prayer,

Jude wrote a good book that GOD allowed to be entered in the Holy Bible. But we are not to pray to any of the prophets of the Scripture.
Are we as Born Again Christians (saints) not allowed to pray to Jesus HIMSELF directly and through HIM to the Father? All true Christians are saints.
When Jesus Christ gave up HIS life to take upon HIS Self all our sins so HIS blood could wash us white as snow. And the vale in the Temple that separated all from the Father. that vale was ripped from top to bottom when Jesus died on the cross. Then 3 days later rising from the dead showing that because HE rose, then that shows, we will rise also when HE returns.
Jesus is now the mediator between the Father and us. So, praying to St. Jude? You can save your breath.
By the way, praying to Jesus Christ can bring healing to a Cancer patient if HE so desires. He's GOD. But the medical industry has supposedly been seeking a cure for Cancer and have not found it yet, I suppose around 50 to 80 years. If you owned a hospital, would you want a cure for Cancer? There's no money in cures. When cured, one doesn't return. Treating symptoms keeps one coming back. Remove the cause of anything, and the symptoms go away.
It's all written in the Scriptures. Read and see.
