Prayer to St. Rocco

    
   "Prayer to St. Rocco"
  
   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 sufferings 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.
  
   St. Rocco, pray for us--3 times.
  
   In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen
