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. St. Rocco, pray for us.
