Oh God You Who Are Love

I pray you give me love

Love in my thinking 

Love in my speaking

Love in the secret recesses of my heart

Love for those who are near

And love for those who are far away

Love for those with whom I work

And love for those with whom I take my ease

Love for those with whom I find it hard to bear

And love for those who find it hard to bear with me

And so Lord, fill me with your love

That when I come to die

I may be worthy to spend my eternity

 with you Who are love

Amen.

St. Peregrine

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty," "The Wonder-Worker," 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 favoured 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.

(Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick for whom you are praying)

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.
