PRAYER FOR
CANCER PATIENTS
LITANY OF
SAINT MICHAEL OF THE SAINTS
Michael Argemir was born in Spain on September 29, 1591. He became a Trinitarian friar in 1607, and took the name of Michael of the Saints. His brief life of thirty-three years was one of great love for Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. His generous service to the poor, the unfortunate and the sick made him a compassionate priest and a faithful friend.
His ministry didn't end with his death. After eleven days of prayer, Frances Sanz was cured through his intercession. The cancerous tumors on her lip and tongue disappeared. No scars were left. Hers was one of many such cures and was presented as one of many miracles when Pius IX canonized Michael on June 8, 1862.
We hope you will join us in our prayers to God to find a cure for cancer through the intercession of Saint Michael of the Saints.
The Trinitarians, white-robed with a red and blue cross on the breast, were founded in 1198 to rescue slaves. Today, as as parish priests, teachers and chaplains, they work with alcoholics, addicts, the mentally impaired, the aged, the lonely; the deaf, and others afflicted. Their special effort is to unite all people in one voice of prayer that a cure for cancer may be found.
Most Holy Trinity, Thou Who didst give us Saint Michael of the Saints as trusted friend and intercessor, and as patron of those afflicted with cancer, look with kindness on Thy servants who this day invoke his name.
Through his intercession, comfort those in distress, confirm those in doubt. Satisfy their spiritual needs from the treasury of Thy grace.
Remember all those who call on Thy help, but be especially solicitous of [Mention Name]. Restore health to this person and to all who are sick. Sanctify those who endure pain with Christ-like acceptance and grant to all of us a just reward in the life of glory to come.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
