Saint Peregrine is venerated as the patron saint of those suffering with cancer. His own miraculous healing from cancer is one of the most well-known aspects of Saint Peregrine's story. He developed a serious and painful cancerous growth on his leg. The disease had progressed to such an extent that the doctors advised amputation as the only solution. On the eve of the surgery, St. Peregrine spent the night in prayer before an image of the crucified Christ. During his fervent prayers, he fell into a deep sleep and dreamt that Jesus touched and healed his cancerous leg. When he woke up, he found his leg completely cured. This miraculous healing of cancer led to his association with cancer patients and his eventual designation as their patron saint. He devoted himself to caring for those afflicted by diseases and provided comfort and support to the terminally ill.

Prayer to St Peregrine
We honor you, St. Peregrine, as a mighty wonder worker, because of the miracles obtained through your intercession for persons who had recourse to your kind and powerful prayers. For many years, you were afflicted with the same cancerous disease from which thousands now suffer. When the power of man could do no more, you were favored with a vision of Jesus leaning down from His cross and touching and healing you.
Trusting in your compassion and readiness to help, we request your prayerful support for our sick relatives and friends.
[Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick persons for whom you are praying.]
May the gracious blessing of Almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, descend upon all our sick relatives and friends. May it be accomplished by the complete cure which they desire and for which we pray.
Intercede for us all, St. Peregrine, that we may be sincerely grateful for every healing, every favor and grace from the Lord God, who is ever glorified in His saints. Amen.
