Can someone help me?

[Oneofthewomen]

Someone very dear to me, who had battled breast cancer 18 months ago and had been in remission, has just been told that the cancer is back, this time in her bones and liver.

My spirituality style is very “Ignatian” and I am very unfamiliar with things like novenas, rosary prayers, etc.

I would like to do something something “special” as far as prayer goes for this person and her family.

Can someone out there give me some ideas?

Thank you and peace be with you!

The best prayer that can possibly be offered for someone is the Holy Mass. You may have Mass offered for your friend’s healing. Simply go to your parish office and ask for a Mass card for a living person. There will be a small offering, perhaps $5 - $10, and the secretary will take the name and assign a date for the Mass. You will be given a card to give to your friend.

For your own personal prayers, the patron saint of those suffering with cancer is St. Peregrine. I’m sure Google will turn up plenty of prayers and novenas.

Novena To
St. Peregrine
Glorious wonder-worker, St. Peregrine, you answered the divine call with a ready spirit, and forsook all the comforts of a life of ease and all the empty honors of the world to dedicate yourself to God in the Order of His holy Mother.
You labored manfully for the salvation of souls. In union with Jesus crucified, you endured painful sufferings with such patience as to deserve to be healed miraculously of an incurable cancer in your leg by a touch of His divine hand.
Obtain for me the grace to answer every call of God and to fulfill His will in all the events of life. Enkindle in my heart a consuming zeal for the salvation of all men.
Deliver me from the infirmities that afflict my body (especially…).
Obtain for me also a perfect resignation to the sufferings it may please God to send me, so that, imitating our crucified Savior and His sorrowful Mother, I may merit eternal glory in heaven.

St. Peregrine, pray for me and for all who invoke your aid.
