PRAYER TO ST. PEREGRINE PATRON AGAINST CANCER

 

 

Glorious wonder-worker, St. Peregrine,

you answered the divine call with a ready spirit,

and forsook all the comforts of a life

of ease and all the empty honors

of the world to dedicate yourself to God

in the Order of His holy Mother.

 

You labored manfully

for the salvation of souls.

 

In union with Jesus crucified,

you endured painful sufferings

with such patience as to deserve

to be healed miraculously of an incurable cancer

in your leg by a touch of His divine Hand.

 

 Obtain for me the grace

to answer ever call of God

and to fulfill His will in all the events of life.

 

Enkindle in my heart a consuming zeal

for the salvation of all men.

 

Deliver me from the infirmities

that afflict my body,

especially (name your ailments).

 

Obtain for me also a perfect resignation

to the sufferings it may please God to send me,

so that, imitating our crucified Saviour

and His sorrowful Mother,

I may merit eternal glory in heaven.

 

Amen.

 

 

St. Peregrine, pray for me

and for all who invoke your aid.
