Happy Feast Day of St. Rocco - English Prayer Verse card

O great St. Rocco, deliver us,
we beseech thee, from the scourges
of God; through thy intercession,
preserve our bodies from contagious
diseases, and our souls from the
contagion of sin. Obtain for us
salubrious air; but, above all, purity
of heart. Assist us to make good use
of health, to bear suffering with
patience; and, after thy example,
to live in the practice of penance
and charity, that we may one day
enjoy the happiness which thou
has merited by thy virtues.
Amen.
