Prayer for Healing From Cancer
This prayer to St. Peregrine, patron of those suffering from cancer, is a heartfelt plea for healing, comfort, and strength. St. Peregrine, who endured the pain of cancer with faith and trust in God’s will, is invoked to intercede for relief and courage during illness. The prayer seeks not only physical healing but also the grace to accept suffering with patience and resignation if it aligns with God’s divine plan. Rooted in faith, it draws strength from the example of Jesus Crucified and the compassionate intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, offering hope and spiritual resilience in the face of life’s trials.
St. Peregrine, whom Holy Mother Church
has declared Patron of those suffering from
Cancer, I confidently turn to you for help
in my present sickness. I beg your kind
intercession. Ask God to relieve me of this
sickness, if it be his Holy Will. Plead with
the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of
Sorrows, whom you loved so tenderly and
in union with whom you have suffered the
pains of Cancer, that she may help me with
her powerful prayers and loving consolation.
But if it should be God’s Holy Will that I
bear this sickness, obtain for me courage
and strength to accept these trails from the
loving hand of God with patience and
resignation, because he knows what is best
for the salvation of my soul. St. Peregrine,
be my friend and patron. Help me to imitate
you in accepting suffering, and to unite
myself with Jesus Crucified and the Mother
of Sorrows, as you did. I offer my pains to
God with all the love of my heart, for his
glory and the salvation of souls, especially
my own.
Amen.
