Morning Prayer - TUESDAY, 16 Aug 2022

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - August 16, 2022 | Memorial of St. Rock (Roque), healer

St. Rock was the son of the governor of Montpellier, France. At the age of twenty, he went on a pilgrimage to Rome. When a plague broke out in Italy he took care of the infected and cured many. He himself caught the disease, but not wishing to be a burden to others, he went to the woods to die. There a dog brought him food and licked his sores. Later its owner found Rock and looked after him. He died around the year 1378. A model of those who carry out works of mercy, he is invoked in time of pestilence.

St. Rock, pray for us!
