Prayer to Saint Jude Thaddaeus for people in a coma

Dear Saint Jude Thaddaeus, illustrious Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, you are known to be the patron saint of hopeless cases. In your years with the Lord, you yourself witnessed how many sick people He restored to health. We turn to you today in trust and faith.

We seek your powerful intercession, o Blessed Saint Jude. We come to you in this time of need to ask for healing and recovery for all our brothers and sisters who are in a coma. With full trust and confidence in your divine intercession, we know that God will never turn His back on those who call upon His name.

Be with their families, relatives, and loved ones. Comfort them with your intercession and prayers.

Inspire our medical professionals as they perform their delicate task of helping our brethren to heal and recover. Guide them as they make important decisions in this situation. Accompany them as they perform the needed procedures.

We trust in God’s purpose as to why things like this happen. Help us that our faith in Him may grow even more despite such an unfortunate event. Help us to realize that in difficult moments like this, we can only put our hope and trust in God.

Saint Jude Thaddaeus, pray for us. Amen.

Further reflection

A coma is a medical condition that is impossible to prepare for, and nobody expects themselves or their loved ones to experience this in their lifetime. It is an intense and prolonged condition where the patient is unconscious, unable to wake up, incapable of reacting to normal stimuli, does not have a regular sleeping-waking cycle, and is completely dependent on others. This condition brings anxiety to those people who have nothing to do except wait and pray for the patient’s healing and recovery.

As a family of God, it is very important to pray for those people in a coma. Let us show our support in their healing and recovery through our sincere and fervent prayers.

It is also as important to pray for their families, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. Our prayers help them amid uncertainty and fear. Our prayers and kind words can give them hope and courage. Our prayers can become a sense of God’s love and comfort around them.

Praying for our brethren in comas gathers us as one family in solidarity and support. Even if the outcome is not what we want, prayers can help us see things from God’s viewpoint. Let us put our faith and trust in His plan and timing. God is in charge, and everything that happens in our lives and our loved ones has a deeper reason and purpose.
