CHAPLET OF PADRE PIO
Oh
Jesus, full of grace and charity, victim for sinners, so impelled by Your love of us that You willed to die on the
cross, I humbly entreat Thee to glorify in heaven and on earth, the servant of God, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, who
generously participated in Your sufferings, who loved Thee so much and laboured so faithfully for the glory of Your
heavently Father and for the good of souls. With confidence, I beseech Thee to grant me, through his intercession,
the grace of . . . which I ardently desire.
Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys and Glorias.

A PRAYER TO PADRE PIO
Beloved Padre Pio, today I come to add my prayer
to the thousands of prayers offered to you every day by those who love and venerate you. They ask for cures and healings,
earthly and spiritual blessings, and peace for body and mind. And because of your friendship with the Lord, he heals those
you ask to be healed, and forgives those you forgive.
Through your visible wounds of the Cross, which you bore for
50 years, you were chosen in our time to glorify the crucified Jesus. Because the Cross has been replaced by other symbols,
please help us to bring it back in our midst, for we acknowledge it is the only true sign of salvation.
As we lovingly
recall the wounds that pierced your hands, feet and side, we not only remember the blood you shed in pain, but your smile,
and the invisible halo of sweet smelling flowers that surrounded your presence, the perfume of sanctity.
Padre Pio,
may the healings of the sick become the testimony that the Lord has invited you to join the holy company of Saints. In your
kindness, please help me with my own special request: (mention here your petition, and make the sign of the Cross).
Bless
me and my loved ones. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Prayer of Padre Pio After Communion
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary
to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You,
I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You,
I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow
You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much,
and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I wish it
to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day
is coming to a close, and life passes, death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that
I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches. I fear the darkness, the
temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers,
I need You.
Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking
of bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique
joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I
want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation,
because I do not merit it, but, the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You!
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for. Your
Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and
more.
With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while
on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity.
Amen
