PRAYER TO GOD THROUGH THE INTERCESSION OF SAINT PIO
Oh God,
You gave Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, capuchin priest,
the great privilege of participating in a unique way in the passion of Your Son,
grant me, through his intercession the grace of...
which I ardently desire;
and above all grant me the grace of living in conformity with the death of Jesus
to arrive at the glory of the resurrection.
Glory be to the Father... (three times)

PRAYER TO SAN PIO (BY POPE JOHN PAUL II)
Teach us, we ask you, humility of heart so we may be counted among the little ones of the Gospel, to whom the Father promised to reveal the mysteries of his Kingdom.
Help us to pray without ceasing, certain that God knows what we need even before we ask him.
Obtain for us the eyes of faith that will be able to recognize right away in the poor and suffering the face of Jesus.
Sustain us in the hour of the combat and of the trial and, if we fall, make us experience the joy of the sacrament of forgiveness.
Grant us your tender devotion to Mary, the Mother of Jesus and our Mother.
Accompany us on our earthly pilgrimage toward the blessed homeland, where we hope to arrive in order to contemplate forever the glory of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
