The Cancer Saint of Forli
The Cancer Saint of Forli - Saint Peregrine The night before he was scheduled to be operated on, Peregrine went into the chapter room of the Priory. He was all alone. He prayed before a fresco of Jesus Crucified. He fell into a deep sleep. He had a vision of the Lord. Our Lord came down from His Cross and reaching out to his cancerous leg, He touched it, ever so gently, with His Healing Hand. The next morning, he awakened, resigned to the operation. Like with so many of us, the Lord had been just waiting for his yes. Peregrine was amazed! His leg didn't hurt. He could stand, he could walk, without pain! He was completely healed! The operation never took place. When the surgeons investigated the leg, they reported there was not a trace of the illness. As Bob likes to say, tell an Italian and you tell the world; news of this miracle spread. People, who knew and loved him, had been following anxiously the progressive deterioration of Peregrine's health. Imagine when they heard, he had been completely cured! And overnight! And he became known as the Cancer Saint or the Patron Saint of Cancer. We will visit the room where the vision and healing took place. When we taped at the Shrine for the dvd we were given the first class treatment by the custodian and took lots of scenes of the Shrine and the interior murals etc.
