St. Bernardine of Siena Comments
In the year 1400, a young man came to the door of the largest hospital in Siena. A plague was raging through the city so horrible that as many as twenty people died each day just in the hospital alone. And many of the people who died were those who were needed to tend the ill. It was a desperate situation -- more and more people were falling ill and fewer and fewer people were there to help them. The twenty-year-old man who stood there had ... Continue Reading

Dear St. Bernardine ... I have been recently told I have 3 nodules in my lung. I will be getting a PET scan soon to determine what these nodules are . . . please intercede for me, St. Bernardine, that I do not have cancer. I have 4 young grandbabies, with two more on the way in the Fall. They mean the world to me. Please heal my lung so that I may praise and adore Jesus more fully. In this, I pray.
Dearest St. Bernardino,
My sister has asked for you to pray for my father, who has been in the ICU with ARDS for 49 days. Two days ago we were given the great news that his lungs are showing signs of clearing. I pray that you help to continue this miracle and heal his lungs everyday. He is a spiritual man who finds moments of comfort while in the ICU when we pray with him. Please lift him up and help his lungs to recover. Thank you for helping to work miracles. I ask this through Christ our lord. Amen.
Dearest St. Bernardino, my father Dennis was admitted to the hospital six weeks ago tomorrow due to pneumonia and sepsis. He was intubated within one hour of admission and sedated immediately due to poor oxygenation. The sepsis was miraculously resolved with antibiotics however the pneumonia caused complications including two pnuemothorax and now is Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. My father was sedated and paralyzed for fourteen days at a local hospital in our town, before both lungs collapsed and caused him to nearly lose his life. Our family was given information that a hospital 100 miles away had a technology called ECMO that could save his life on the day in which the doctors and nurses told us that my father would not make it through the night. We made the decision to transfer him via critical care ambulance (the doctors said that his lungs were too weak to be transported flight for life) and with GOD's grace, my father made it safely to the hospital. My father has been on the ECMO machine for 28 days tomorrow.He has been in intensive care for 42 days. His lungs are still very sick, however the doctor says that his condition has improved somewhat (due to the fact that he is now awake and responding to the staff and family). My father is in need of a miracle. I pray to you St. Bernardino that you intervene and heal my father's sick lungs. Our faith in GOD is eternal, and I ask you for your help. My father has a young son and baby grandchildren. He is only 56 years old and has lots of life to live. I believe that you can help him. I found a beautiful medal with a card with you on it which I had blessed by my priest at church today. I am bringing it to his room tomorrow. Lord, I ask this in the name of you. I praise you St. Bernardino for your intercession.

Dear Saint Bernardino of Siena,
You are known to help persons with breathing problems, please heal the scarred lungs of our friend & brother Dave. At this time he is very fearful, that he may have cancer. Please intercede on his behalf to replace his fears with trust in God's Mercy. His wife, 2 young daughters and mother-in-law rely on him fully after the untimely & very painful death of his father-in-law, due to complications from surgery this past summer. Please heal Dave in Jesus' Name. Amen.
St. Bernadine, I ask for your intercession. That you may pray for my brother Michael. He has had asthma since he was a child and through the years of potent medications, he's health worsens.

Please cure my father of his lung ailment that appeared after his stroke. For some reason he now needs oxygen and cannot get rid of his wet cough. St. Bernadine, please intercede and cure my father.
Knowing the history of my patron saint is more of a guide in living m Life! Pray and intercede on m behalf St Bernardine always IJN. Amen
Probably because the derivative of his name, Bernardine, sounds and looks to most Americans/English speakers as a female name. I prefer to call him St. Bernardino. St Bernardino pray for us in the Holy Name of Jesus!
Thank you, Saint Peregrine for your interceding for those with lung issues.
Praying to Saint Bernardino of Siena for my brother, Nathan's lungs. He has both a bacteria and a virus affecting his lungs and causing great difficulty in his cancer recovery.
Pray that his lungs clear and the virus gets under control.
Praying to St. Bernadine helped my mother suffering direly from respiratory ailments. Doctors said she would die, but she did not -- in fact, she turned the corner for the better once insightful prayer began. I still give him thanks in my prayers.
St. Bernardine please pray for us...amen !!!
