This third-class relic holy card of St. Peregrine has the following prayer on the back:

God, who gave Saint Peregrine an angel as his companion, the Mother of God as his teacher, and Jesus as the physician for his illness; grant, we ask You, that we on earth may intensely love the Blessed Virgin Mary and our Savior, and in Heaven bless them forever.  Grant that we receive the favor for which we now ask through Jesus Christ Our Lord.  Amen

Feast Day: Roman Rite Calendar - 05/01 Patron Of: Against Cancer, Breast Cancer, Open Sores, AIDS Sufferers, Cancer Patients, Sick, Skin Diseases Also known as     Peregrinus Memorial     1 May Profile     Born wealthy, he spent a worldly youth, and became involved in politics. 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.
