Prayer to St. Peregrine for the Sick

Sign in to save
O great St. Peregrine, you have been called the Mighty and 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 you 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. (Mention those for whom you pray.) 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.

About the prayer

St. Peregrine Laziosi (c. 1265-1345), a Servite friar of Forlì in Italy, developed a cancer of the leg that was to be amputated; after a night of prayer before a crucifix he was found healed. He is the Church's patron of those with cancer and serious illness, and this prayer is the one used at St. Peregrine healing Masses in parishes worldwide. He was canonized in 1726.
