The kingdom of God will be taken away from you
and given to a people that will produce much fruit. – Matthew 21: 33-43
The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come.
Many are invited, but few are chosen. – Matthew 22: 1-14
Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God. – Matthew 22: 15-21
You shall love the Lord your God with all you heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
And you shall love your neighbor as yourself. – Matthew 22: 34-40
******************
Saint Francis, our brother, you who eight hundred years ago
went to meet Sister Death as a man at peace,
intercede for us before the Lord.
You recognized true peace in the Crucifix of San Damiano,
teach us to seek in Him the source of all reconciliation
that breaks down every wall.
You who, unarmed, crossed the lines of war and misunderstanding,
give us the courage to build bridges where the world raises up boundaries.
In this time afflicted by conflict and division, intercede for us so that we may become peacemakers:
unarmed and disarming witnesses of the peace that comes from Christ.
Amen
(Prayer of Pope Leo XIV for the Jubilee Year of St. Francis’ Transitus into Eternity)

Prayers in honor of Our Lady and the Rosary and Padre Pio
St. Pio of Pietrelcina, your love for the Eucharist and for our Heavenly Mother Mary, made you respect and love every facet of life that spoke of God and his loving care for all His creation. Be with me as I open my heart to the Most Blessed Trinity and intercede for me that, through the intercession of Our Mother Mary, whose love for you received from the Heart of God all you requested, intercede for me that I may be holy and always live in God’s Most holy Will.
Good Father, present me as your Spiritual Child to our Lady, as I open my heart to her, that she, in turn, may keep me and protect me in her Immaculate Heart, and lead me to Jesus.
As I see Jesus in the Eucharist I celebrate and receive so often, pray that I, as Mary, may be a Tabernacle where Jesus finds a welcoming and a well-prepared place to dwell and from which, as the Monstrance Mary is and I am called to be, Jesus can be presented to those whom I encounter on life’s journey.
Mary, My Mother, with Padre Pio as my companion in coming to you, I pray that you intercede for me before the Blessed Trinity Whose Daughter, Mother and Spouse you are.
To Our Lady
(adapted Prayer composed by St. Bernard)
Remember, O most compassionate Virgin Mary,
that never was it known, that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your assistance, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O virgin of virgins, my mother,
to you I come, sinful and sorrowful.
Mother of the Word Incarnate (assist me, that I may open my heart
to the Word I read and receive, and, like you, open my life to Christ,
that I may live with, in, and for Jesus, as you did.)
Despise not my request, but in your clemency, hear and answer me.
Amen.
(Padre Pio’s love for the Rosary that he recited so often in the course of each day, urges us to reflect upon the Rosary. Each day choose one mystery of the Rosary. Offer the following simple aspiration with the virtue of the day and say a decade of the Rosary in honor of that mystery for the day.)
Good Jesus, through the… (here mention the mystery of the Rosary you will carry with you during the day) may the example of Our Blessed Mother Mary who lived this moment with you, and the devotion of Padre Pio who meditated on this mystery each day, obtain for me the grace of (here mention the virtue of the mystery) today.

Concluding Prayer:
Father, all-powerful and ever-living God, through life’s joys and sorrows, enlighten me to live your Word that I may come, one day, as Mary, to the glory you have promised all who hear your Word and keep It.
Mary, Great Mediatrix of Graces, Your motherly Heart is always aware of Your children’s joys and struggles. Keep us in the depths of Your Immaculate Motherly Heart that your love for us may always see the imagine of Jesus in us, and lead us ever closer to the God of Creation and eternal Glory. And, when we stray, like the lost sheep, be Mother of the Divine Shepherd Who accompanies the Good Shepherd to our rescue. Mother, in Your love may we “Love You back” so intensely that that thought alone can strengthen our resolve to overcome those moments, when the one whose head you step on, seek to overwhelm us. You will overcome in the Name of Your Son. May we be victorious in the name of the Victor over Sin and Death and the name of the Conquering Queen at His side.
Having offered my prayer through our Mother, unequaled by any human being in this life, I turn now to our Mother’s husband, companion and protector, and Your own guardian in this life as Foster Father, good St. Joseph. Good St. Joseph may your silent and strong presence, providing and caring for the basic necessities of the Holy Family and loving, with all the love one can imagine, your Immaculate Wife and your Divine Foster Child, be strength in our own personal lives. May you, who are the Protector of the Holy Family of Christ on earth, the Mystical Body of Jesus, the Church, who we are, inspire us with gratitude to God for your fatherly awareness, protection and intercession for us, your foster children in the Jesus in Whose Name we were baptized and remain conformed in our journey to God. Look at us with love and see your Messianic Son, Jesus, in us, even when we stray. Good St. Joseph pray for us always, especially in those challenging moments when we struggle with the powers that seek to distance us from the Eternal Source of Love and Life, and pray for us.
Loving Spiritual Father, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, we remember that this monthly devotion helps us reflect on the life, words, spirit, and so much more of you, our Spiritual Guide. Help us through your intercession to live as faithful children of so strong, direct, and yet loving spiritual Father as you continue to be. Intercede for us that we may always be the faithful children you expect us to be as the “prayer warriors” we were founded by you to be. And, when we fall along the way, good Father, speak to our hearts and help us to get up and continue in faith, hope, and without worry, the journey that leads us in Christ with you into God.
Amen
