Lord, on the feast of Saint Roch, we thank You for granting him a heart full of love and mercy, making him a model for pilgrims, a comfort for the sick, and a living echo of Your compassion in the world

Through Saint Roch’s intercession, heal our weary hearts, teach us to serve our brothers and sisters with joy and patience, and guide us to walk faithfully on our pilgrimage toward You, until we reach eternal life

.Amen
