Bishop and lover of souls, during your life you willingly bore many crosses in faithful imitation of the suffering Jesus 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 Saviour, as reparation for my sins and the salvation of souls.
Amen.
