St. Roch, I humbly ask for intercessory prayer to our Lord Jesus Christ for healing of a horrible illness and affliction which is not common to the medical community ( plague). I am in need of a miracle and very depressed. I pray for healing as I have three beautiful children I desire to be here for and my heart is broken with this illness. I suffer from fear and anxiety and unbearable emotional pain due to this illness along with the physical illness itself that has rendered me helpless. I feel alone. Please also pray for my children for any pain that their mother having this illness brings to their lives. Pray for them. Please ask our Lord to heal me through His miracle working powers as well as others if possible suffering from this very same illness if that is His will. I ask these things in the name of Jesus. Amen

I bless them and tell them they are loved but it is so difficult to see them in need. Thank you

In a village called Mikstat in Poland, on the day of St.Roch, the villagers come to a tiny wooden church of St.Roch with their pets to have them blessed. The church itself is situated on a hill surrounded by a cemetery , and during the ceremony all the graves are decorated with hundreds of gladiolus flowers, which is an amazing view!
