Devotional Prayers to Saint Peregrine

Prayers of Devotion to Saint Peregrine
Patron of Cancer Patients

1. Prayer to St. Peregrine

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 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 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.

2. Prayer for Cancer Patients

St. Peregrine, who Holy Mother Church has declared Patron of those suffering from Cancer, I confidently turn to you for help I 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 it is should be God’s Holy Will that I bear this sickness, obtain for me courage and strength to accept these trials 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.
