That encounter changed him. He repented, joined the Servite Order, and spent the rest of his life in ministry to the sick and poor, earning the nickname \"Angel of Good Counsel\" for his wisdom and generosity. At sixty, a severe leg infection progressed into cancer, and a physician recommended amputation. The night before the surgery, Peregrine prayed before a crucifix in the chapter room and experienced a vision of Christ descending from the cross to touch his leg. When the doctor returned the next morning, the cancer had vanished entirely. He lived another twenty years and died in 1345, and has since become one of the Church's most widely invoked patrons for cancer, AIDS, and other serious illnesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Gift For...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomeone facing a cancer diagnosis or in treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA cancer survivor marking remission or recovery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaregivers supporting someone through serious illness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone waiting on medical news that feels impossible to control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA person who needs a reminder that healing sometimes happens against the odds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Confirmation Gift for Peregrine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering Peregrine for a confirmation name? \"Against the Odds\" or \"Healed by Faith\" both fit within the 20-character line limit.
