O God,

You gave St. 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… (Mention your intentions),

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)

Nulla osta.
