“Better today than yesterday, better tomorrow than today!” - Saint Peregrine
Saint Peregrine was born in Flori, Italy during the year 1265. Initially rebelling against the Catholic church in youth, a violent encounter with a priest left him consumed with remorse and a need for repentance. He devoted himself to service and prayer, during which the Virgin Mary appeared to him and said “Go to Siena, There you will find devout men who call themselves my servants. Attach yourself to them.” Peregrine did as he was instructed and did indeed find a sect known as The Servites who warmly welcomed him. There Peregrine worked daily to become a more fervent religious man. To atone for past misdeeds he treated himself harshly and worked hard for the poor and afflicted. People took to calling him the “Angel of Good Counsel,” so grateful were they for his wise advice so freely given. A few years after founding his own Servite monastery in his hometown of Flori, a cancerous growth appeared on his right foot. It was so painful that he finally agreed with the surgeon who wanted to amputate. The night before the scheduled surgery, Peregrine spent hours in prayer. Then he dozed off and dreamt that Christ was touching him and healing his foot. The thrill of it woke him up. In the dim moonlight he saw that his foot, carefully bandaged a few hours earlier was completely healed. After this miracle, scores of the sick appealed to his prayers. Some were cured when he whispered “Jesus” into their ears. Peregrine died on May 1st , 1345 and was granted Sainthood in 1726. Thousands of clients pay him special honor on May 1st each year.
