Novena to Padre Pio – Novena in honor of St. Pio of Pietrelcina
DAY ONE – Padre Pio’s Novena
Beloved 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. “It is to your advantage to commit yourself to the sufferings that Jesus will send to you. Jesus cannot tolerate seeing you afflicted and he will come to you and comfort you, blessing you with many graces for your soul”. – PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART (see below)
DAY TWO – Padre Pio’s Novena
Padre Pio, together with Our Lord Jesus Christ, youТve been able to withstand the temptations of the Devil. You suffered the beatings and the oppression of the demon of hell, who wanted to have you abandon your journey of holiness. 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. “Havecourage and do not fear the assaults of the Devil. Remember this forever; it is a healthy sign if the devil shouts and roars around your conscience, since this shows that he is not inside your will” – PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART (see below)
DAY THREE – Padre Pio’s Novena
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. 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. “Mary has to be the star that illuminates your path and she will show you the secure way to go to the Celestial Father. She will be an anchor to which you must cling in the hour of temptation” – PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART (see below)
DAY FOUR – Padre Pio’s Novena
Chaste St. Pio of Pietrelcina, you loved your Guardian Angel, who served you well as your guide and as a defender and messenger. The Angels brought the prayers of your spiritual children to you. We beg you to pray for us, so that we may learn to call on our Guardian Angel who is always ready to guide us to what is good and to avoid falling into sinful actions. “Invoke your Guardian Angel, who will enlighten you and guide you. God has given him to you for your protection, therefore, you should use him accordingly” – PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART (see below)
DAY FIVE – Padre Pio’s Novena
Prudent St. Pio of Pietrelcina, you have had a great devotion for the Souls in Purgatory for whom you have offered yourself as a victim to remit their punishments. Please pray for us and ask God to send us the same interest, compassion and love that you have for these souls. In this way, we will also contribute to reducing their suffering and, with our sacrifices and prayers, win for them their necessary Indulgences. “My God, I beg you; let me bear the punishments that have been prepared for sinners and the souls in Purgatory.Multiply these punishments for me, so that you may forgive and save the sinners and free their souls from purgatory” – PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART (see below)
DAY SIX – Padre Pio’s Novena
Obedient St. Pio of Pietrelcina, you have loved the sick more than yourself, because you were able to see Jesus in them. You have performed many miracles by healing patients in the name of Jesus and thereby giving them peace of mind. We beg you to pray for us, so that sick patients, through the intercession of Our Heavenly Mother, can be healed and their bodies restored so that they may benefit from the Holy Spirit and, therefore, thank and praise God forever. “If I knew that a person was afflicted in his mind, body or soul, I would beg God to set him free of his affliction. I would gladly accept the transfer of his affliction to myself, so that he may be saved, and I would ask that he benefit from the fruits of these sufferings… if the Lord would allow me to do it” – PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART (see below)
DAY SEVEN – Padre Pio’s Novena
Blessed St. Pio of Pietrelcina, you have worked in “God’s Plan for Salvation”, by offering your sufferings to free sinners from the chains of the Devil. We beg you to pray for us, so that unbelievers will be converted to the faith, that all sinners will repent in their hearts and that those with lukewarm hearts will find renewed enthusiasm for a Christian life. Finally, pray for all those who are faithful, so that they will persevere on their way to salvation. “If the people of the World could only see the beauty of ones soul when it is in the grace of God, all sinners and unbelievers of this world would be instantly converted” – PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART (see below)
DAY EIGHT – Padre Pio’s Novena
Pure St. Pio of Pietrelcina, you experienced great love for your spiritual children and have helped them by purchasing them for Christ with the giving of your blood.а Please grant us, who have not met you personally, the opportunity to be considered your spiritual children. In this way, with your protection, guidance and strength, you will obtain for us a special blessing from God, so that we may meet Him on the day of our death at the gates of Heaven. “It would be most fulfilling, if God would grant me just one wish (if it were possible); that He would say, “Enter Heaven!” This is my one true wish; “That God would take me to Heaven at the same time that the last of my children and the last of the people who submitted to my priestly care have entered”– PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART (see below)
DAY NINE – Padre Pio’s Novena
Humble St. Pio of Pietrelcina, you who loved the Roman Catholic Church, pray for us.аа May the Master send workers to the harvest and give them the strength and knowledge needed to be children of God. Pray that Our Holy Lady will unite Christian people everywhere, comforting all of them in one great house of the Lord, the lighthouse of our salvation in the storm of life… just as a lighthouse is a beacon for safe return when there is a storm at sea. “You must always keep yourself on the straight and narrow path in the Holy Catholic Church because She is the only Bride of Christ and can bring you peace. She alone possesses Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, who is the true Prince of Peace”– PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART (see below)
Oh Saint Padre Pio, crowned with glory, pray for me.
Oh lord, You have heard the prayers of Padre Pio, and have given him the grace of communion with You, have mercy on me in my despair, save me from my misfortunes, because I am unable to bear them. Amen. To you honor, praise and thanks forever!
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father.
