Oncology & Chronic Illness

Catholic Prayers for Cancer Patients, Chemotherapy & Tumor Healing

Cancer diagnosis carries immense fear and vulnerability. In Catholic spirituality, Saint Peregrine, who was himself cured of bone cancer on the eve of his leg amputation after a vision of Christ, stands as a tireless heavenly advocate for all undergoing oncology treatments.

“Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.”

— Psalm 30:2
