NOVENA TO SAINT ROQUE (Feast on August 16)

O Blessed San Roque,

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 not less.

Offer, then, to God

Our sighs and tears

And obtain for us that health we seek

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

(Repeat the following 3 times)

San Roque, pray for us,

That we may be preserved

From all diseases of body and soul.
