sufferers, cancer patients, open sores, sick people,
skin diseases
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 thos who have had
recourse to you.
For so many years you bore in
your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the
very fiber of our being, and who had recourse to the
source of all grace when the power of man could do no
more.
You were favored 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.
