 PrayerSt. Peregrine, we come to implore your aid with God. You were converted from a worldly life by good example of one holy person. You were cured of cancer through God's power and healing grace. We ask you to intercede with Almighty God for all those afflicted with cancer, ailments of the limbs or any incurable disease. We include in our prayers all those devoted to cancer research and care-givers to cancer patients. Amen.
