St. Roch Powerful Patron Against Plagues

O’ Blessed St 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 no less. Offer to God our sighs and tears and obtain for us the physical and spiritual health we seek:

( Here ask your request…)

This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lord Jesus, may thy will be done

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
