Hello,

I am thinking about buying my Father-In-Law a set of rosary beads to lift his spirit. He was diagnosed with cancer of the lung and liver yesterday, after a long fight with and remission from bladder cancer. He is a practicing Catholic but I do not think he prays the rosary.

I researched and learned that Saint Peregrine is the patron Saint of cancer patients. I found a very nice Saint Peregrine rosary for sale. Would that be an appropriate gift? Is a rosary an appropriate gift for an adult who does not pray the rosary?

I know that he attends Mass and prays but I think the rosary would give him strength. I offer my rosary prayers for him daily.

Thanks

Yes even if all he does is hold it or look at it. if it was up to me i would get this as a gift for him
 
Sounds like a great plan.🙂 It can’t harm him, but only help him.
 
I think that sounds like a wonderful gift!! I will also pray for your father-in-law!
 
Thanks all for the replies,

I will buy him the rosary. Thanks followingtheway, I will print up the instructions for him. I will also give him a book on the rosary.

Does anyone know of a chaplet or a novena to Saint Peregrine that I can pray for my Father-In-Law? I will pray for remission or cure, anything is possible with faith and prayer. Most importantly I will pray that, no matter the outcome, he has become totally converted.

Thanks,

DL
