PRAYER TO ST. PEREGRINE
We implore thy powerful aid, St. Peregrine,
for all who are living
unworthy of their Christian vocation.
May they be converted from a
sinful, selfish life, as thou wast,
by the good example of those who
are obedient to Christ's counsels.
We invoke thy special help, St. Peregrine,
for all in religious life
that they may remain faithful
as thou didst to their vows, and ever
steadfast
in their commitment to Christ.
We seek thy merciful aid, St. Peregrine,
especially for those afflicted
or threatened by cancer,
by any ailment of the foot, or by any
incurable diseases.
Please help us quickly to find a cure for cancer,
and a remedy
for all our human infirmities of soul, mind, and body.
Amen.
V. Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of Thine eye,
R. In the shadow of Thy wings protect us.
St. Peregrine, we come to thee confidently to implore thy aid with God
in our necessity.
Thou wast converted instantly from a worldly life by
the good example of one holy person.
Thou wast also cured
instantaneously of cancer by God's grace and unceasing prayer.
In thy gracious kindness please ask the Lord to heal us also in body,
mind, and soul.
May we then also imitate
thee in doing His work with renewed vigor and strength. Amen.
FOR SICK RELATIVES AND FRIENDS
O great St. Peregrine, thou who hast been called "The Mighty," "The
Wonder-Worker"
because of the numerous miracles which thou hast
obtained from God
for those who have had recourse to thee, thou who for
so many years
didst bear in thine own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys
the very fiber of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all
grace
when the power of man could do no more;
thou who wast favored
with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross
to heal thy
affliction, ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of these sick persons
whom we entrust to thee.
(Pause here and silently recall the names of
the sick persons for whom you are praying.)
Aided in this way by thy powerful intercession, we shall sing to God,
now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness
and mercy. Amen.
