PRAYER OF ST. PADRE PIO Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me. Thank You for sending Your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ into the world to save and free me. I trust in Your power and grace to sustain and heal me. Loving Father, touch me now with Your healing hands so that I may believe that Your good will is for me, my mind, body and soul. Cover me with the most precious Blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. Cast out what should not be in me. Heal the unhealthy and abnormal cells. Open blocked arteries and veins and rebuild and repair any damage. Remove all inflammation and wash away infections with the power of the most precious Blood of Jesus. Let the fire of Your healing love pass through my entire body to heal it so that it functions in the way You created it. Touch my mind and emotions, even the deepest recesses of my heart. Fill me with your presence, love, joy and peace and draw me closer to you in every moment of my life. Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit and empower me to do everything possible so that my life may bring glory and honor to your holy name. I ask you this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. STAY WITH ME, LORD (St. Padre Pio) Stay with me, Lord, because I need your presence so that I do not forget you. You know how easily I leave you. Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak. I need your strength so that I do not fall. Without you there is no zeal in me. Stay with me, Lord, because you alone are my light. Show me your will so that I may hear your voice and follow it. Stay with me so that I may be faithful to you. My poor soul longs to be a place of comfort for you. Stay with me, Lord, for it is getting late and the day is drawing to a close. Life is passing, eternity is drawing near. I must renew my strength so that I do not faint on the way. Stay with me, Lord, for I need You so much in this night of life full of dangers. I do not ask for divine consolations, for I do not deserve them, but I ask for the gift of Your presence. Oh yes, Lord, I beg You, stay with me, for I seek only You, Your love, Your grace, Your Spirit. I love You and I ask for only one reward, that I may love You more and more. Amen. PRAYER FOR THE CONVERSION OF A SINNER (St. Padre Pio) You know, O my sweet Redeemer, how often the memory of Your Divine Face, angry with my unfortunate brothers, froze my blood in my veins, filled me with terror more than the thought of eternal torment and the punishments of all the damned in hell. Lord, I always beseech You with fear and trembling, as I now humbly beg You, that for the sake of Your goodness and mercy You would restrain the thunderbolts of Your gaze upon these unfortunate brothers of mine. You have said, O my sweet Lord, that love is as powerful as death, and its jealousy implacable as Sheol – therefore look with an eye of inexpressible goodness upon these dead brothers, and unite them with very strong bonds of love. Amen. PRAYER FOR THE INTERCESSION OF SAINT FATHER PIO God, our Father, we adore You and thank You for having given us Saint Padre Pio, who during his lifetime was our advocate with You. Through his intercession we beg You, do not reject our prayer, but graciously hear it and grant grace according to Your will. O Jesus, full of grace and love, Victim for sins, moved by love for our souls You wanted to die on the cross; I humbly beseech You through the intercession of Saint Pio, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, who, sharing generously in your sufferings, loved you so much and consecrated himself so completely for the glory of your Father and for the good of souls, that you grant me the grace (mention the request) that I ardently desire. Glory to the Father... Praised be Jesus Christ and Mary Immaculate. Now and forever. Amen.
