In light of @HailVictory1776's recent diagnosis, maybe we can put the site to good use for once. Today is the fortuitously-timed start of the St. Peregrine Novena and that's good for him, your family, random cancer patients around the world, whatever you'd like to pray with intention for.
I'm thinking we'll do this every day at 1500 EST (it's current 2130). You're welcome to mention that you're participating below, or keep it to yourself, both are fine.
Will repost reminders every day.

Dear holy servant of God, St. Peregrine, we pray today for healing.
Intercede for us God healed you of cancer and others were healed by your prayers. Please pray for the physical healing of…
(Mention your intentions)
These intentions bring us to our knees seeking your intercession for healing.
We are humbled by our physical limitations and ailments. We are so weak and so powerless. We are completely dependent upon God. And so, we ask that you pray for us…
Pray for us, that we will not let sickness bring us to despair.
We know, St. Peregrine, that you are a powerful intercessor because your life was completely given to God. We know that in as much as you pray for our healing, you are praying even more for our salvation.
A life of holiness like yours is more important than a life free of suffering and disease. Pray for our healing, but pray even more that we might come as close to Our Lord as you are.
Glory Be
Amen.
Sign of the Cross
Amen.

I've seen pictures of saints pierced with a dozen arrows, saints holding their own flayed skin folded over their arm like a jacket, saints being roasted alive on a spit over coals - this dude has a scrapped knee and a boo-boo that needs a bandaid and a kiss by mommy. Why would anyone pray to this weak putz?

TBF a guy who got spit roasted while making jokes about it being the patron saint of cooks and comedians is one of the most hilarious things in any religion
