Prayer to Saint Michael of the Saints

This was sent to me by a Benedictine Sister. Please pray for my Aunt Polly and brother, Steven.

St. Michael of the Saints who is the saint we can pray to for those who suffer from cancer. He is a Spanish Trinitarian friar. He was born Sept. 29, 1591. He died at the age of 33 and had a great love for our Lord in the Blessed sacrament. This is the prayer to him;

We praise you, Most Holy Trinity, for having sent Saint Michael of the Saints, to be our friend and intercessor in the fight against cancer.

Grant us, we pray , a humble faith that we may follow in his holy footsteps and believe without doubt in your generous gift of healing.

With humble and childlike trust, we ask your Divine help through Saint Michael of the Saints in this urgent necessity.

May this gift of bodily health bring us peace and joy which are but a foretaste of heaven, and may we be counted one day among your saints in glory.

Father, your world is ill with cancer and frightened. We pray you ease the suffering of those afflicted, give loving hands to those who care for them,

and light the way for those who seek its cure.

Merciful Father, extend your healing hand so that we may soon cry out, "A cure at last!"

IN Jesus name we pray. Amen
