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.
