Don, I'm sorry I didn't look at your request sooner, mea culpa.  I will keep
Ken Starks and his family in my prayers.  I have asked St. Peregrine for his
intercession in this matter as well -- he is the patron saint of cancer
patients.



St. Peregrine was born in 1260 at Forlì, Italy  to an affluent family. He
lived a comfortable life as a youth, and politically opposed the papacy.
After he experienced the forgiveness of St. Philip Benizi, he changed his
life and joined the Servite order.  He was ordained a priest, and later
returned to his home to establish a Servite community.  There he was widely
known for his preaching, penances, and counsel in the confessional.  He was
cured of cancer, after he received a vision of Christ on the cross reaching
out His hand to touch his impaired limb.  He died in 1345 and was canonized
in 1726.  He is the patron of cancer patients.


Prayer to Saint Peregrine

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty," "The
Wonder-Worker," because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained
from God for those who have had recourse to you.

For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that
destroys the very fibre of our being, and you had recourse to the source of
all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favoured with the
vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of
God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you. (Pause here
and silently recall the names of the sick for whom you are praying.)

Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now
and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in
the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

I read the article on lxer which you wrote about Ken -- his example is
inspiring. Thanks, Don.

In Christ,
