~Cancer~

~Wanting to storm Heaven for help to find a cure for cancer, I have found this prayer to 
St. Peregrine, the patron of cancer, who had cancer himself when he was on this Earth.~
~   ~   ~   ~   ~   ~   ~
~St. Peregrine was born in 1260 at Forli, Italy to an affluent family.
He lived a comfortable life as a youth, and politically opposed the papacy.
After he experienced the forgiveness of St. Philip Benizi, he changed his life and joined the Servite Order.
He was ordained a priest, and later returned to his home to establish a Servite community.
There he was widely known for his preaching, penances, and counsel in the confessional.
He was cured of cancer, after he received a vision of Christ
on the cross reaching out His Hand to touch his impaired limb.
He died in 1345 and canonized in 1726.
He is the patron of cancer patients.~
