Roman Verse on the back: St Peregrine PATRON OF CANCER PATIENTS (1260-1345) The only child of wealthy parents, Peregrine Laziosi was the leader of the "anti-papal" party in Forli, Italy when he was only 18. Peregrine was, like most people in his City at that time, strongly opposed to the Catholic church. A pious priest named Philip Benizi was sent to Forli by the Pope, to preach to the people there. While Philip was praying, a disturbance broke out, and the priest was insulted by the crowd and struck on the face by Peregrine. Father Benizi's only response to the attack was that he said he would pray for Peregrine. This so moved Peregrine that he dropped to his knees to ask forgiveness, and he experienced an immediate conversion. Peregrine made a dramatic change in his lifestyle. He prayed often to the Blessed Mother, and on one occasion, while praying in the cathedral, Peregrine saw a vision of Mary surrounded by angels. She told him to join the Order of The Servants of Mary, of which Father Benizi belonged, and become a priest. Peregrine showed great humility and self-sacrifice as he prepared to become a priest. Upon completion of his training, he was given permission to return to Forli to work with the people there. He was often seen with the sick and the dying in the hospitals, prisons, and homes of the poor. A few years later, the cancerous growth appeared on his foot. The night before his leg was to be amputated, Peregrine prayed that he would be able to continue his work, but humbled himself to the will of God. The image of Jesus, on the crucifix in front of him, reach down to touch Peregrine's foot. In the morning there was no trace of disease. Peregrine lived until he was 80 years old. In addition to being the patron of cancer patients, he is also invoked against AIDS and other illnesses. Feast day: May 4 Prayer card included.
