No… that is just his patronage, meaning that is the most common thing he is invoked for, but you can call on any saint for any reason, just as you can call on Christ for any reason.😛
 
No. You can ask for intersession from saints for anything that is good.
 
St. Jude is great. I ask for his intercession for important things and he always helps. It does not have to be hopeless cases.
 
The reason I asked this is because I sent a Prayer to St. Jude to my daughter who is in a very traumatic, trying period of her life right now (in fact we all are here). She emailed me back, *“Isn’t St. Jude the patron of hopeless cases? Thank you, either way.” *My answer was, “Many things, to include despair. Like part of the prayer says, “…necessities, tribulations and sufferings…”. When I did a search for patron against despair and tribulations, St. Jude came up.”

She is in agreement but I just thought I’d ask in CAF just to make sure. I am forming a pretty strong devotion to St. Jude these days. I’m thinking of joining the St. Jude League

Thank you all.

I highly promote devotion to St Jude. St Jude is wonderful about praying for your intentions and bringing them to Jesus. I have asked St Jude for health, safety, peace in my marriage, money and jobs, and helping me and others to get closer to Jesus and God The Father Almighty with the help of the Holy Spirit. St Jude has been wonderful. As I look back, all my prayers have been answered in the long term.

**Novena To St. Jude

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.
Intercede with God for me that He 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 -

St. Jude rocks! He is a great saint who has come through for me everytime I’ve asked for his prayers. Of course, you might not get the answer to your prayers that you are expecting, but you’ll get what you need. Always remember that God is ALWAYS working, even if it is behind the scenes in mysterious ways.
 
Saint Jude is my patron saint – in a way he brought me to the church.
