A Prayer to Padre Pio

Beloved Padre Pio, today I come to add my prayer to the thousands of prayers offered to you every day by those who love and venerate you.  They ask for cures and healings, earthly and spiritual blessings, and peace for body and mind.  And because of your friendship with the Lord, he heals those you ask to be healed, and forgives those you forgive.  
Through your visible wounds of the Cross, which you bore for 50 years, you were chosen in our time to glorify the crucified Jesus.  Because the Cross has been replaced by other symbols, please help us to bring it back in our midst, for we acknowledge it is the only true sign of salvation.

As we lovingly recall the wounds that pierced your hands, feet and side, we not only remember the blood you shed in pain, but your smile, and the invisible halo of sweet smelling flowers that surrounded your presence, the perfume sanctity.

Padre Pio, may the healings of the sick become the testimony that the Lord has invited you to join the holy company of Saints.  In your kindness, please help me with my own special request: (mention your petition, and make the sign of the Cross).  

Bless me and my loved ones.  In the name if the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.  

In Memoriam J.S.  The following quotes of Padre Pio tell how he looked after and loved his spiritual family:

“I love my Spiritual Children as much as my own soul and even more.”

“Once I take a soul on, I also take on their entire family as my spiritual children.”

“To my Spiritual Children, my prayers for you will never be lacking.”

“If one of my spiritual children ever goes estray, I shall leave my flock and seek him out.”

Prayer to Obtain the Glorification of Padre Pio

O Jesus, full of grace and charity, victim for sinners, so impelled by love for us that you willed to die on the cross, I humbly beseech you to glorify in heaven and on earth the Servant of God, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, who generously participated in your sufferings, who loved you so much and labored so faithfully for the glory of your heavenly Father and for the good of souls.  With confidence I beseech you to grant me, through his intersession, the grace of . . . . . . . .  which I ardently desire.

                                 Glory be to the Father . . . (three times).

The Blessed Virgin Mary grants seven graces to the souls who honor her daily by saying seven Hail Mary’s and meditating on her tears and dolors.  The devotion was passed on by St. Bridget.

 

        THE SEVEN GRACES

   1.  I will grant peace to their families.

   2.  They will be enlightened about the divine mysteries.

   3.  I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in
        their work.

   4.  I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not 
        oppose the adorable will of  my divine Son or the sanctification of 
        their souls.

   5.  I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I 
        will protect  them at every instant of their lives.

   6.  I will visibly help them at the moment of their death, they will see the 
        face of their Mother.

   7.  I have obtained (This Grace) from my divine Son, that those who   
        propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly 
        from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be 
        forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.
