Prayer is an essential tool for healing and is an excellent source of comfort,
courage and strength for those who are suffering. During times of illness,
disease or a life challenge, nothing is more important than to offer prayer
and to join with others in assurance of these prayers.
In addition to prayer, the Saints protect us against harm, help strengthen our
faith and offer spiritual guidance and healing. They are our models of prayer
and their intercession helps present powerful prayers of healing to God on
our behalf.

Saint Blaise was born to a rich and noble family
during the fourth century. He received a Christian
education and eventually became a physician.
During his practice, he saw so much of the miseries
of life and the hollowness of worldly pleasures,
that he decided to devote his life to God.
He became a priest and was eventually appointed
Bishop of Sebaste in Armenia. From all parts, people
came to him for the cure of bodily and spiritual ills.
When the governor, Licinius, began to persecute
Christians, Saint Blaise was captured and sent
to prison. On the way, people lined the road to see
him one last time. As Saint Blaise blessed them all,
a poor mother rushed up to him and begged him
to save her child who was choking to death
on a fishbone. He then blessed the child
and worked a miracle that saved the child's life.
No torture could make him give up his faith
in Jesus and he was beheaded in 316.
Saint Blaise is recognized today as the patron
of those suffering from throat ailments.
His feast day is February 3rd.
Saint Blaise, Pray for Us.
