Morning prayer to start the day right – Padre Pio, at the beginning of this new day, I offer this prayer to you.
Morning Prayer to Padre Pio (to use daily)
Padre Pio, may this morning prayer be pleasing and an honor to you. Loving Padre Pio, at the beginning of this new day, I offer this prayer to You, because today I want to see the world with eyes that are full of hope, and live as an instrument of your love.
Dearest Padre Pio, I think of the signs of your suffering for us: your pierced hands and your wounded heart. I wish to thank you for this with a pure and grateful heart. Shower me with your goodness and let your love flourish in my heart. A love that dissolves weariness, a love that overcomes difficulties, a love that bolsters weaknesses, a love that dries your tears. Beloved Padre Pio, through this morning prayer, I turn this new day over to you. Protect me from the dangers and the storms, and grant me strength to face all the responsibilities that await me. When I am tempted to give up, grant me the strength to move forward.
Padre Pio, you know the problems and the worries that I will have to face today, and so I ask you to stay by my side. Glorious Padre Pio, teach me to recognize Jesus in my brothers and sisters and to appreciate the beauty around me. Give me a selfless heart, that I may become a reflection and a witness of your goodness. Inspire me to follow you in love, to be more generous, and to do good works. Keep me safe from evil and sin; may your grace always be with me and my loved ones. Amen
