Pater Nosters, and Gloria Patris. ~St. John Paul XXIII Pray to the Fourteen Efficacious Holy Helpers Saint Christopher and Saint Giles were invoked in Times of Adversity and Difficulties against the plague itself. Saint Denis was prayed to for relief from head- ache; Saint Blaise for ills of the throat; Saint Eras- mus (Elmo), for abdominal maladies, Saint Barbara for fever, and Saint Vitus against epilepsy. Saint Pantaleon is the patron of physicians, Saint Cyriacus was invoked against temptation on the deathbed, and Saints Christopher, Barbara, and Catherine (of Alexandria) for protection against a sudden and unprovided for death.
