Saint Peregrine Prayer for people with cancer:
O great St. Peregrine, you have been called “The Mighty,” “The WonderWorker,” because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God
for those who have had recourse to you.
For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fibre of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all
grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favored with the
vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God
and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you.
Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and
for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.

Heavenly Father, Creator of all, thank
you for summer!
Thank you for the warmth of the sun
and the increased daylight.
Thank you for the beauty I see all

outside and enjoy your creation.
Thank you for the increased time I
have to be with my friends and family,
and for the more casual pace of the
summer season.
Draw me closer to you this summer.
Teach me how I can pray no matter
where I am or what I am doing.
Warm my soul with the awareness of
your presence and light my path with
your Word and counsel.
As I enjoy your creation, create in me a
pure heart and a hunger and a thirst for
you.
Amen.
