PRAYER BY ST. AMBROSE FOR PROTECTION AND HEALTH

Lord Jesus Christ,

I approach your banquet table

in fear and trembling,

for I am a sinner,

and dare not rely on my own worth

but only on your goodness and mercy. 

I am defiled by many sins in body and soul,

and by my unguarded thoughts and words.

 Gracious God of majesty and awe,

I seek your protection,

I look for your healing.

 

Poor troubled sinner that I am,

I appeal to You,

the fountain of all mercy.

 

 I cannot bear your judgment,

but I trust in your salvation.
 

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.

 

A PRAYER TO ST. DYMPHNA PATRONESS OF THE MENTALLY ILL

 

Good Saint Dymphna,

great wonder-worker in every affliction

of mind and body,

I humbly implore your powerful intercession

with Jesus through Mary,

the Health of the Sick,

in my present need.
