Intercession of St. Padre Pio

Prayer for the Intercession of St. Padre Pio

Dear God, You generously blessed your servant, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, with the gifts of the Spirit.  You marked his body with the five wounds of Christ Crucified, as a powerful witness to the saving Passion and Death of Your 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 You to grant me the grace of (here state your petition).

Glory be to the Father... (three times).

Amen.

Oh Mary, conceived without sin, 

pray for us who have recourse to thee!

You Belong

I sing you a song

A song whereby you belong

You belong to Me

Don't you see?

I lay My Hands on you

Yes it is true

And soon all will see

There will be no room for disbelief

Listen, for I am singing

Do you not hear the ringing?

The ringing in your ears?

For I am so near

My song to you is Holy!

Holy! Holy! Holy!

For you are wholly Mine

Forevermore

So chin up My Sweet

For by the end of this week

You will begin to see

What I mean

I love you!

Your Best Friend

The above poem came to me a few days back when I was feeling a tad blue.  I was talking to Jesus and saying how I was feeling like I don't really belong.  Where do I belong?  I've been feeling like that especially lately.  So today I typed it up and upon completion the above song was playing on Jackie's I-Pad.  It fit perfectly!

Praise God!

Novena to St. Gabriel, Archangel

I am in need of help.  I feel strongly the attacks of the enemy.  The intercession of the saints is powerful!  We can't even begin to try to go it alone in this wicked world.  We must have help from above.  Help me and my family Saint Gabriel!  Help this world!  We need you!

Novena to St. Gabriel the Archangel

Saint Gabriel the Archangel, I venerate you as the Angel of the Incarnation, because God specially appointed you to bear the messages concerning the God-Man to Daniel, Zechariah, and the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Give me a very tender and devoted love for the Incarnate Word and his Blessed Mother, more like your own.

I venerate you also as the "Strength from God", because you are the giver of God's strength, consoler and comforter chosen to strengthen God's faithful and teach them important truths.  I ask for the grace of  a special power of the will to strive for holiness of life.  Steady my resolutions; renew my courage; comfort and console me in the problems, trials and sufferings of daily living, as you consoled our Savior in His agony and Mary in her sorrows and Joseph in his trials.  I put my confidence in you.

Saint Gabriel, I ask you especially for this favor; (mention your request).  Through your earnest love for the Son of God made man and for His Blessed Mother, I beg of you, intercede for me that my request may be granted, if it be God's holy will.

Pray for us, Saint Gabriel the Archangel.  That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.

Say this Novena nine times in a row for nine days in a row.

Have a Blessed Day!
