Prayer to Saint Peregrine


Prayer to Saint Peregrine

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty," "The Wonder-Worker," because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you.
For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fibre of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favoured with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you.
(Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick for whom you are praying)
Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy.
Amen.

A friend of mine from a long time ago emailed me this morning. Sadness filled her letter. She is calling out for prayers and comfort. So much cancer. So much. Please place her husband, Vic, in your prayers. He had surgery on June 1st to remove his bladder, prostate, and lymph nodes. We may not be able to physically comfort or lessen pain from suffering... but we are all called to pray for others for their needs.
Thank you, dear reader. I remember you in my prayers daily.

Mary
Jesus, I trust in You!
