Novena to St. Peregrine, Patron Saint of People with Cancer
Prayer
God our Father, Lord of all consolation, your son suffered and died so that we might have life. This day we praise the wonder of your love for us in the example of your servant, Peregrine. Through his intercession help us to open our lives to your healing for us, listen to your word, and do your blessed will. This we ask through our Lord Jesus Christ your son who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen
Intercessions
God our Father, you are a God who loves me. I thank you for the many blessings you have given me. In loving trust I place myself before you. Let your healing love fill my life. Give me the strength to understand my illness. Forgive my failures in carrying the cross. In St. Peregrine you gave us an example of patient suffering. Supported then by his prayers, lask
that the suffering I endure may be a source of life both now and for ever. I make this prayer through Christ your son.
St. Peregrine, Pray for me.
Lord you have known the pain of suffering. Be with me in my pain, and comfort me in my
loneliness. Forgive my impatience and bless my efforts to be generous to all.
St. Peregrine, Pray for me.
Holy Spirit, bless me with the gift of understanding. Bring healing to my life and to the lifes of my loved ones. Send your gift of forgiveness to me and to those I may have hurt in the past.
St. Peregrine, Pray for me.
Prayer
O God, in St. Peregrine you gave us an outstanding example of faith and patience. We humbly ask you that by imitating him and by the help of his prayers, we will believe more fully in your healing help, bear the sufferings of this life without wavering, and come with joy to the peace of heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
People who have cancer often find themselves in search of support to help them cope. We present to them our Servite brother, St. Peregrine, who himself suffered from the illness. Through his intercession we pray at our priories for all those in need of healing. We have a Mass for the Sick and Devotion to St Peregrine every Tuesday evening in St. Patrick’s church, Derrygonnelly at 7:00pm.
