St. Roch Holy Cards 100-Pack - Patron Saint Against Illnesses
Details
Description
According to Catholic tradition, St. Roch was miraculously born with a red cross on his breast. He grew up to be a man of great faith.
After his parents died, Saint Roch gave away his inheritence to the poor. In the year 1315, he miraculously cured plague victims in Italy with the sign of the cross, but his ministry led to him contracting the disease himself. He later recovered but spent the remainder of his life in prison after being mistaken for a spy.
After St. Roch died in prison, an angel appeared in his cell and said that those who invoked Roch's intercession would be cured. Today, St. Roch is called upon to intercede against illness, including the coronavirus pandemic.
On the back of our exclusive St. Roch holy card is the beloved Prayer to St. Roch (see below), which we invite you to use to ask for Roch's intercession. These holy cards were designed in-house by the Apostle Gear graphic arts team.
Printed in full high-gloss color, the card is about the size of a business card (3.5-inches high by 2-inches wide) and fits perfectly in a wallet or pocket. We invite you to purchase this 100 pack and distribute them to everyone who might join you in prayer.

Prayer to St. Roch
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, many were healed of their diseases.
Now that you are in heaven, your power is not less.
Offer, then, to God our sighs and tears and obtain for us that health we seek.
hrough Christ our Lord. Amen.
Repeat the following 3 times: Saint Roch, pray for us, that we may be preserved from all diseases of body and soul.
