Novena to St. Peregrine, patron of cancer patients 2
April 22 - 30
.
O great St. Peregrine, thou hast been called 'The Mighty, ' '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 borest in thy 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. Thou wert 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 thee.
.
(Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick for whom you are praying)
.
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.
