St Blaise, Bishop and lover of souls, during your life you willingly bore many crosses in faithful imitation of the suffering Jesus Christ. Similarly, with Christ-like compassion and the grace of God, you miraculously cured many sufferers of their ills and humbly accepted the tortures inflicted upon you at the time of your death, dying as a Martyr for Christ. Now in your heavenly home, I come before you and humbly ask for your intercession before the throne of God. St Blaise, seek for me a cure for…(Name the illness) … If it is not God’s will or the greater good of my soul, ask God to grant me the strength to bear my cross patiently, in imitation of Jesus Christ our Crucified Savior, as reparation for my sins and the salvation of souls. Amen.
