Let
us pray:
Dear Saint Peregrine I need your help. I feel so uncertain of my
life right now. Serious illness (for myself, family, friends) test
my faith in God. Help me imitate your enduring faith when you faced
the ugliness of cancer and surgery. Allow me to trust the Lord the
way you did in this moment of distress. I want to be cured, but
right now I ask God for the strength to bear this cross in my life.
I ask for the grace not to despair. I seek the power to proclaim
God's presence in my life despite the hardship, anguish, and fear I
now experience. Oh glorious Saint Peregrine be an inspiration to me
and a petitioner of these needed graces from our loving Father.
Amen. - A Prayer to
St. Peregrine for my
Cancer
St. Peregrine, whom Holy
Mother Church has declared Patron of those suffering from Cancer, I
confidently turn to you for help in my present sickness. I beg your
kind intercession.
Ask God to relieve me of this sickness, if it be his Holy Will.
Plead with the Blessed Virgin Mary,
the Mother of Sorrows, whom you loved so tenderly and in union with
whom you have suffered the pains of Cancer,
that she may help me with her powerful prayers and loving
consolation.
But if it should be God’s Holy Will that I bear this sickness,
obtain for me courage and strength to accept these trails
from the loving hand of God with patience and resignation, because
he knows what is best for the salvation of my soul.
St. Peregrine, be my friend and patron. Help me to imitate you in
accepting suffering, and to unite myself with Jesus Crucified
and the Mother of Sorrows, as you did. I offer my pains to God with
all the love of my heart, for his glory and the salvation of souls,
especially my own.
Amen.

A Prayer to St.
Peregrine for Sick Relatives and Friends
O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty", "The
Wonder Worker" because
of the numerous miracles which you obtained from God for those who
have turned to you in
their need. For so many years, you bore in your own flesh this
cancerous disease that destroys
the very fiber of our being.
You turned to God when the power of human beings could do no more,
and you were favored
with the vision of Jesus coming down from His cross to heal your
affliction. I now ask God to
heal these sick persons whom I entrust to you:
(Here mention their names)
Aided by your powerful intercession, I shall sing with Mary a hymn
of gratitude
to God for His great goodness and mercy.
Amen.
Prayer to Saint Peregrine for the Cancer of
Others
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 those who have had recourse to you.
For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease
that destroys the very fibre of our being,
and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of
man could do no more.
You were favoured 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.
