It's Mexican Spanish: It's a prayer to St. Jude to please send him/her some money,
San Juditas -- term of endearment to refer to San Judas (Saint Jude). The diminutive is often used for this purpose.
Pliss - please (I know.. don't even ask)
Una lanita -- a little wool. The word lana in Mexican Spanish is the equivalent of dough or money in English. Again, the diminutive here is used to either imply that they just want a little money or they're being polite in their request.

Are you sure this is Spanish? It looks a little like Latin to me.
