September 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them<\/em><\/strong>. (Matthew 18: 15-20)<\/p>\n

Should you not have pity on your fellow servant as I had pity on you?<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 (Matthew 18: 21-35)<\/p>\n

Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage? Am I not free to do as I wish? I am generous<\/em><\/strong>. (Matthew 20: 1-16)<\/p>\n

Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of heaven before you<\/em><\/strong>. (Matthew 21: 28-32)<\/p>\n

Father in heaven, You have made us for yourself; Our hearts are restless until they rest in you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In Padre Pio of Pietrelcina You have given us a renewed image of Your Crucified Son,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

to inflame the hearts of a world grown cold to Your everlasting love.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fulfill our longing through Jesus, for a world that hungers for peace and justice,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

for a world that longs for love.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Padre Pio celebrated the great mystery of Your love and became one with the Eucharistic Bread of Life,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus, Whose Body and Blood we offer and become when we are consumed as we consume.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Grant that we may witness to Jesus, as Padre Pio of Pietrelcina did,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

and be moved, as he was moved, to relieve the suffering of others.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus alone can satisfy the hungers of the human family.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

By the power of Your Holy Spirit, through the intercession of our Heavenly Mother Mary,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

the silent strength of her husband St. Joseph, and her devoted and loving child Padre Pio of Pietrelcina,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

lead us to You, that we may one day share the fullness of life.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are God, living and reigning with the Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever. Amen.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1<\/p>\n

Pray, hope, and don\u2019t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.<\/p>\n

2<\/p>\n

Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n

3<\/p>\n

You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart.<\/p>\n

4<\/p>\n

Have courage and do not fear the assaults of the Devil.<\/p>\n

5<\/p>\n

Abandon yourself to the Lord. He will never let you down.<\/p>\n

6<\/p>\n

Walk in the ways of the Lord with simplicity and do not torment your spirit.<\/p>\n

7<\/p>\n

Beware of anxiety and restlessness because there is nothing that more greatly impedes progress towards perfection.<\/p>\n

8<\/p>\n

Have great confidence in His mercy, because He will never abandon you.<\/p>\n

9<\/p>\n

Let us walk always, even with slow steps; as long as we have good intentions, we cannot but make progress.<\/p>\n

10<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t tire yourself with things that cause anxieties, perturbation and worries. Only one thing is necessary, to lift up your spirit and love God.<\/p>\n

11<\/p>\n

Drive away, once and for all, every perplexity and anxiety, and enjoy in peace, the most sweet pains of the Beloved.<\/p>\n

12<\/p>\n

Be tranquil as far as your soul is concerned. Confide totally, more and more, in Jesus.<\/p>\n

13<\/p>\n

Make an effort to unite yourself always and everything to the divine will, both in happy and sad events.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about the future.<\/p>\n

14<\/p>\n

You should not be discouraged, because if there is in the soul a continual effort to improve, the Lord will finally reward you.<\/p>\n

15<\/p>\n

Patience is more perfect when it is less mixed up with worries and disturbances.<\/p>\n

If the good God wants to prolong the time of trial, do not complain or try to investigate the reason.<\/p>\n

16<\/p>\n

Faith guides even us and we follow its sure light on the way which conducts us to God and His homeland.<\/p>\n

17<\/p>\n

The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self.<\/p>\n

There is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain.<\/p>\n

18<\/p>\n

I belong to everyone and everyone can say \u2018Padre Pio is mine.\u2019<\/p>\n

Write to me whenever you have the need or the desire. In me you will always find a father.<\/p>\n

19<\/p>\n

After love for our Lord, I would recommend to you that of the Church, his Bride.<\/p>\n

20<\/p>\n

Pray for the wicked as much as for the devout; pray for the Holy Father.<\/p>\n

21<\/p>\n

Pray to God for them, so that saving themselves they may obtain a fruitful salvation of souls.<\/p>\n

22<\/p>\n

Your fear is useless and silly.<\/p>\n

23<\/p>\n

You are suffering, but do not fear, because God is with you.<\/p>\n

24<\/p>\n

You are suffering, but believe, also, that Jesus is suffering within you, with you, and for you.<\/p>\n

25<\/p>\n

Always be happily at peace with your conscience.<\/p>\n

26<\/p>\n

Dispel sadness, because this enters in the hearts of those who are attached to the things of this world.<\/p>\n

27<\/p>\n

Advance always, and even if you progress at a slow pace, you will still travel far.<\/p>\n

28<\/p>\n

The more they love the world, the more their passions multiply.<\/p>\n

29<\/p>\n

May the Infant Jesus always reign in your heart, and may he establish and consolidate his reign within you more and more.<\/p>\n

30<\/p>\n

You have done everything out of love, you invite us to nothing else but love, speak of nothing except love.<\/p>\n

Daily Prayers in Honor of St Pio of Pietrelcina<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, loving father, you bore the visible wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ on your body. You carried the Cross for all humanity. In bearing the physical and moral sufferings that continually tortured your body and soul you became a martyr of love for all people. We beg you to intercede for us with our Almighty Father that we may have the courage to accept the great and small crosses of life that transform individual suffering into a sure link that leads us to eternal life.<\/p>\n

Monday: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, holy father, you now live with our loving Father and God Jesus Christ. You grew in holiness and resisted the seductions of the Evil One. You were physically beaten by the infernal spirits of evil who sought to force you to leave the road to holiness that you had chosen to follow. Pray for us to God that through your intercession and in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we may find the spiritual courage to renounce sin and be strengthened in faith until death.<\/p>\n

Tuesday: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, virtuous father, you loved Our Blessed Mother very much. You were gifted every day with the graces and comforts that only She can give. We beg you to pray for us to our Heavenly Mother and place our sins and petitions in Her hands. As at Cana in Galilee, may She intercede for us that Her Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, may hear Her prayers on our behalf and inscribe our names in the Book of Life.<\/p>\n

Wednesday: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, chaste father, you taught us to love our Guardian Angel as you loved yours so much. Your Guardian Angel was your constant companion, guide, defender and messenger. The Angels even brought the prayers of your spiritual children to you. Since they are a presence of the Living God who help to avoid the disgrace of sin and are always ready to indicate the road that leads us to goodness and keep us from evil, pray that we too may learn, as you, to appreciate the ministry of our Guardian Angels and speak to them that we may be receptive to their inspiration and learn to obey them at all times.<\/p>\n

Thursday: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, prudent father, you loved the Souls in Purgatory so much and taught us to love them as well. You offered yourself as a victim to expiate their sufferings in Purgatory. Intercede for us with Our Lord and God Jesus Christ that our hearts may be filled with compassion and love for the Holy Souls. Following your example, we too desire to assist the Holy Souls and reduce their time of affliction in Purgatory. We ask that our prayers and sacrifices may grant them relief in their sufferings, the holy indulgences necessary to liberate them from their place of torment and a speedy entrance into the eternal joys of heaven.<\/p>\n

Friday: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, obedient father, your loved the sick and infirm more than yourself because in them you saw Jesus. In the name of God you performed miracles of healing in body, soul and mind. Your intercession with God healed the ills of past and present and strengthened people to respond with confidence to future challenges. Those who came to you regained a sense of spiritual integrity as you re-kindled hope in their lives, and encouraged them to renew the spirit in their hearts. Through the intercession of Our Heavenly Mother, may we experience your powerful assistance and be healed in our bodily and spiritual needs, and gratefully give praise and thanks to God for all his blessings.<\/p>\n

Saturday: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, holy father, you fulfilled the salvation plan of God and offered yourself as a victim to free all people from their bondage to Satan. Pray for us to God. Intercede for all those people who have no faith, that they cooperate with God s gifts and grow in a strong and sincere faith, and thus be converted to the Lord, through a sincere and heartfelt repentance of their sins. May those whose faith is weak grow strong in their Christian life, and may the faithful children of God continue with greater commitment on the road to salvation.<\/p>\n

Closing Prayer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, pure father, you loved your Spiritual Children very much. How many of your children were acquired at the price of your blood! Pray that we who have not known you personally, may also be numbered among your Spiritual Children. Through your powerful fatherly protection, saintly guidance, and the spiritual strength we learn from your life and words, gain for us from God, at the moment of our death, that the Lord may allow you to be waiting for us at the moment we are presented before the God Whose love and mercy we seek. With our Mother Mary to intercede for us Her children, our entrance \u00a0may we encounter you waiting for us at the Gates of Paradise.<\/p>\n

Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, humble father, you truly loved our Holy Mother the Church. Ask God, the Lord of the Harvest, to send laborers into His vineyard. May He fill the world with many and holy priests who are filled with the strength and inspiration that comes only from God. Intercede for us with the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother, that she may lead to unity all our brothers and sisters who call upon Jesus, as Lord and Savior. May they find their unity in the one great family of God in Christ on earth, so that the Church may be a beacon of light and sure hope of salvation in the storm-tossed sea of life. Through the concern and commitment with which you attached yourself spiritually to all those who sought you as spiritual guide, accompany us at every moment on our earthly pilgrimage towards heaven. There we hope one day to contemplate the glory of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, our God Who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

V – May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

R – Through it the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.<\/p>\n

V – You bore the wounds of Christ on your body.<\/p>\n

R – That we might learn the value of the Cross<\/p>\n

V – Pray for us St. Pio of Pietrelcina<\/p>\n

R – That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ<\/p>\n

Let us pray: Almighty and eternal God, by a singular grace you allowed your priest, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, to participate in the mystery of the Cross of your Son, and through his ministry, you revealed the marvels of your mercy. Grant that through his intercession we may remain one with Christ in his Passion so as to joyfully attain the glory of the Resurrection. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.<\/p>\n
