O great St. Peregrine, you who 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.
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.
