Prayer to St. Peregrine:

O God, who gave to St. Peregrine an angel for his companion, the Mother of God for his Teacher, and Jesus for the Physician of his malady; grant, we beseech Thee, through his merits, that we may on earth intensely love our holy angel, the Blessed Virgin, and our Saviour, and in heaven bless them forever.  Grant that we receive the favor for which we now petition.  Through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Say one Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father, with the invocation: St. Peregrine, pray for us.  St. Peregrine (rhymes with ter'rapin) was converted by St. Philip, O.S.M.  He entered the Order of the Servants of Mary in 1283.  Thus began 62 years of unbelievable penance as Peregrine made reparation for the sins of his youth.  His feast day is on May 2nd.  St. Peregrine is universally invoked as Patron of cancer victims because a cancerous growth on his own leg was miraculously cured.

Peregrine was initially strongly anti-Catholic. During a popular revolt, he struck the papal peace negotiator, Saint Philip Benizi, across the face. Saint Philip calmly turned the other cheek, prayed for the youth, and Peregine converted.     He received a vision of Our Lady who told him to go to Siena, Italy, and there to join the Servites. After training and ordination, they assigned him to his home town. He lived and worked, as much as possible, in complete silence, in solitude, and without sitting down for 30 years in an attempt to do penance for his early life. When he did speak, he was known as a fervant preacher, excellent orator, and gentle confessor. Founded a Servite house at Forli.     A victim of a spreading cancer in his foot, Peregrine was scheduled for an amputation. The night before the operation, he spent in prayer; that night received a vision of Christ who healed him with a touch. The next morning, Peregrine found his cancer completely healed. Born     1260 at Forli, Italy Died     1345 at Forli, Italy of natural causes; body incorrupt Beatified     11 September 1702 by Pope Clement XI Canonized     27 December 1726 by Pope Benedict XIII Patronage     against cancer, AIDS sufferers, breast cancer, cancer patients, open sores, sick people, skin diseases All information used with permission of the Patron Saint Index.
