A prayer to St. Rocco asks that are bodies are spared from disease and our souls spared of sin. St. Rocco holds a staff and is in the company of a dog. On the reverse side is the prayer to St. Rocco.
O Great St. Rocco, deliver us,
we beseech thee, from the
scourges of God; through thy
intercession, preserve our
bodies from contagious
diseases, and our souls from
the contagion of sin.
Obtain for us salubrious air;
but, above all, purity of heart.
Assist us to make good use
of health, to bear sufferings
with patience; and, after thy
example, to live in the practice
of penance and charity, that
we may one day enjoy the
happiness which thou has
merited by thy virtues.
