PRAYER TO ST EZEKIEL MORENO - Excerpt from the Cancer Awareness Talk with Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD

On August 19, we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Ezekiel Moreno, patron saint of cancer patients. He has been a source of comfort and inspiration for me during my own battle with lung cancer in 2018. I fondly refer to him as my "prayotherapy", my prayer warrior from above. As we honor his feast day, we pray for those struggling with cancer and other illnesses, seeking inner strength and peace. May St. Ezekiel Moreno intercede, and bring hope and healing to everyone in need. Amen! (Fr Jerry Orbos, SVD) ___________________ About St. Ezekiel Moreno (https://www.stezekielmoreno.com.au/st...)
