PRAYER TO ST.PEREGRINE

O God, who gave to St. Peregrine an angel for his companion, the Mother of God for his Teacher, and Jesus for the Physician of his malady; grant, we beseech Thee, through his merits, that we may on earth intensely love our holy angel, the Blessed Virgin, and our Saviour, and in heaven bless them forever. Grant that we receive the favour for which we now petition. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Say one Our Father, Hail Mary, Glary be to the Father, with the invocation: St. Peregrine, pray for us.

 St. Peregrine (rhymes with ter'rapin) was converted by St. Philip, A.S.M. He entered the Order of the Servants of Mary in 1283. Thus began 62 years of unbelievable penance as Peregrine made reparation for the sins of his youth. His feast day is on May 2nd . St. Peregrine is universally invoked as Patron of cancer victims because a cancerous growth on his own leg was miraculously cured.
