Preface: Oh most Holy God, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Infinite Majesty, and we adore Thee and dedicate to Thy glory the devout prayers which we now present to Thee, as an act of devotion to your servant, St Padre Pio, whose intercession we are now imploring.
Oh beloved Saint of God, Padre Pio, you were especially chosen by God to bear the holy stigmata in union with Jesus for 50 years, sacrificing and suffering all for the conversion of souls. What intense suffering these holy wounds caused you! But your bore this constant pain for the love of God and for the love of souls. We ask you to place this request (mention request) into your stigmatised hands, and present it to Jesus in our name.
-Recite one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory Be...
May God hear and answer our prayer according to His holy will and for His greater glory. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, AMEN. +
-St Padre Pio, pray for us!
Dear God, Thou hast generously blessed Thy
servant, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, with the gifts of the Spirit. Thou hast
marked his body with the five wounds of Christ Crucified, as a powerful
witness to the saving Passion and Death of Thy Son. Endowed with the
gift of discernment, St. Pio labored endlessly in the confessional for
the salvation of souls. With reverence and intense devotion in the
celebration of Mass, he invited countless men and women to a greater
union with Jesus Christ in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
Through the intercession of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, I confidently beseech Thee to grant me the grace of (mention your intentions here). Amen.
Recite three Glorias.
