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the Cross has been replaced by other symbols, please help us to bring it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

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.
