Gilbert,

Read this page for some inspiration and hope....

St. Peregrine - Patron of Cancer Patients

It will be encouraging and helpful for people to know that there is a patron of America's most deadly disease. He is St. Peregrine, O.S.M., a priest of the Order of the Servants of Mary. This is his story......

I have to get back to work however here is a prayer we can say for your mother.

O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus Christ your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, especially for the return to good health of Francis Bustillos, mother of Gilbert Bustillos.

We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your gentle care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick.

O Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Mother of Christ, you had influence with your Divine Son while upon this earth you have the same influence now in heaven. Pray for us and obtain for us from him the granting of our petitions if it be in his Divine Will.

Amen.
