St. Roque

In these challenging times, it would be fitting for all the family to join for a moment of prayer. We should all call on God's protection and keep in our thoughts all those who are suffering. The Saint protector against infectious disease is St.Roque. Let us all pray for his intercession.

Prayer

O Blessed San Roch,
Patron of the sick,
Have pity on those
Who lie upon a bed of suffering.
Your power was so great

When you were in this world,
That by the sign of the Cross,
Many were healed of their diseases.

Now that you are in heaven,
Your power is not less.
Offer, then, to God
Our sighs and tears

And obtain for us that health we seek Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

San Roch, pray for us,
That we may be preserved
From all diseases of body and soul.
