The Call To Serve those with Cancer

Like Jesus became the servant the night of the Last Supper, we, too, must serve. Of course,  the first way to serve is through prayer.  St. Peregrine is the patron saint of those suffering from cancer.  To learn more about Peregrine, and why he is the patron saint of those suffering from cancer, click

A good prayer to use when praying for the intercession of St. Peregrine, is this:

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty", "The Wonder Worker" because
of the numerous miracles which you obtained from God for those who have turned to you in
their need. For so many years, you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys
the very fiber of our being.

You turned to God when the power of human beings could do no more, and you were favored
with the vision of Jesus coming down from His cross to heal your affliction. I now ask God to
heal these sick persons whom I entrust to you:

(here mention their names)

Aided by your powerful intercession, I shall sing with Mary a hymn of gratitude
to God for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.

However, the laborers are need in the field. 

There are ways to serve, using our talents.

"Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.  Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen."

1 Peter 4:10-11
