St.
Peregrine is the Patron Saint of Cancer Patients.
St.
Peregrine was known for his holiness but also for a miraculous
healing that he received.
He
was scheduled to have his leg amputated because of a cancerous
growth. The night before the surgery, he prayed for healing, received
a vision of Christ coming down from the cross to touch his leg and
was completely healed.
St.
Peregrine Novena Prayers
Dear
holy servant of God, St. Peregrine, we pray today for healing.
Intercede
for us! God healed you of cancer and others were healed by your
prayers. Please pray for the physical healing of…
(Mention
your intentions)
These
intentions bring us to our knees seeking your intercession for
healing.
We
are humbled by our physical limitations and ailments. We are so weak
and so powerless. We are completely dependent upon God. And so, we
ask that you pray for us…

consoled
Day

ever more selfless
Day

Day

We
know, St. Peregrine, that you are a powerful intercessor because your
life was completely given to God. We know that in as much as you pray
for our healing, you are praying even more for our salvation.
A
life of holiness like yours is more important that a life free of
suffering and disease. Pray for our healing, but pray even more that
we might come as close to Our Lord as you are.
Glory
be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in
the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
