Novena Prayer for
Those Affected by Cancer

O God, who gave to Saint Peregrine
an Angel for his companion,
the Mother of God for his Teacher and
Jesus as the Physician of his malady,
grant we beseech You through his merits
that we may on earth intensely love our Holy Angel,
the blessed Virgin Mary, and
our Savior, and in Him bless them forever. 
Grant that we may receive the favor
for which we now petition. 
We ask this through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Followed by:
     Seven Our Fathers
     Seven Hail Marys
     Seven Glorias (Glory be to the Father…)
with the invocation “St. Peregrine, pray for us.”

Prayer for Priests

Father, you have chosen your priests from among us and sent them out to proclaim your Word and to act in your name.  For this great gift to your Church, we give you praise and thanksgiving.  Inspire them through prayer to live each day the mystery of your dying and rising, through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
