Prayer to St. Peregrine Laziosi, Patron of the Sick

O great Saint Peregrine, thou who hast been called "The Mighty" and "The Wonder-Worker" because of the numerous miracles which thou hast obtained from God for those who have had recourse to thee: for so many years thou didst bear in thine own flesh a cancerous disease that destroys the very fiber of our being, and who hadst recourse to the Source of all grace when the power of man could do no more; thou wast favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal thine affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady the cure of the sick whom we entrust to thee. Aided in this way by thy powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.
