CHAPLET PRAYER TO SAINT ROCH
On the medal pray: O Great Saint Roch, deliver us, we ask you, from the scourges of God; through your intercession, preserve our bodies from contagious diseases, and our souls from the contagion of sin.

Obtain for us wholesome air, but, above all, purity of heart. Assist us to make good use of health, to bear suffering with patience; and, after your example, to live in the practice of penance and charity, that we may one day enjoy the happiness which you have merited by your virtues.

Saint Roch, pray for us.
Saint Roch, pray for us.
Saint Roch, pray for us.

On the 1st bead of each set pray: The Our Father

On the 2nd bead of each set pray: The Hail Mary

On the 3rd bead of each set pray: The Glory Be

On the Crucifix pray: O Blessed Saint Roch, patron of the sick, have pity on those who lie upon a bed of suffering. Your power was so great when you were in this world, that by the sign of the Cross, you placed with your hand on the foreheads of the sick, many were healed of their diseases. Now that you are with God in heaven, your power continues to help those that call upon you.
