Praying with St. Pio
Lord Jesus, Crucified and Resurrected,
we thank you for having given us,
St. Pio of Pietrelcina,
as one who shared in Your pain and passion,
and was the instrument of bestowing God’s mercy.
We ask you, in imitation
of the <<Holy Friar of Mount Gargano>>,
to make our life
<<an intimate and loving participation
in Your sacrifice>>,
by a kindly and generous dedication
to love all of God’s children.
May it be a testimony of truth and love which,
as Your disciples,
we must announce all of God’s people.
We offer to You, O Lord,
our gratitude for the sanctity of Padre Pio
who is a sign of great hope
in this tormented world.
May your Holy Servant,
blessed with the stigmata,
intercede for us before the throne of God.
Amen.
Archbishop of the diocese of
Manfredonia-Vieste-San Giovanni Rotondo
