Saint Peregrine, you have given us an example to follow; as a Christian you were steadfast in love; as
a Servite, you were faithful in service; as a penitent you humbly acknowledged your sin; afflicted you
bore suffering with patience. Intercede for us, then, with our heavenly Father so that we steadfast,
humble and patient may receive from Christ Jesus the grace we ask.
2)
Oh great Saint Peregrine, you who 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 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 these sick persons whom we entrust to you.
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
3)
Dear Apostle of Emilia and member of the Order of Mary, you spread the Good News by your word and by
your life witnessed to its truth. In union with Jesus crucified, you endured excruciating sufferings
so patiently as to be healed miraculously of cancer in the leg. If it is agreeable to God, obtain
relief and cure for {name of patient} and keep us all from the dread cancer of sin. Amen.
4)
O glorious wonder worker, Saint Peregrine, you who answered the divine call with a ready spirit,
forsaking all the comforts of a life of ease and all the empty honors of the world, to dedicate
yourself to God in the Order of His most Holy Mother; you who labored manfully for the salvation of
souls, merting the title Apostle of Emilia; you who in union with Jesus crucified, endured the
most painful sufferings with such patience so as to deserve to be miraculously healed from an
incurable wound in your leg by Him with a touch of His divine hand: obtain for us, we pray, the grace
to answer every call from God; enkindle in our hearts a consuming zeal for the salvation of souls;
deliver us from the infirmities that so often afflict our bodies; and obtain for us the grace of
perfect resignation to the sufferings which may be sent to us; so may we, imitating your virtues and
tenderly loving our crucified Lord and his sorrowful Mother, be enabled to merit glory everlasting in
paradise. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
