Prayer for the Intercession of St. Pio of Pietrelcina
(Pope John Paul II recited this prayer on the occasion of the canonization of Padre Pio, June 16, 2002)
Padre Pio, teach us too, we pray, humility, that we may be counted among the humble of heart in the Gospel to whom the Father promised to reveal the mysteries of His kingdom. Obtain for us an expression of faith capable of recognizing Jesus in the faces of the poor and suffering. Sustain us during our times of trial and struggle and, should we fall, let us experience the joy of forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Teach us tender devotion towards Mary, Mother of Christ and our Mother. Accompany us on our earthly pilgrimage towards the blessed Homeland, where we, too, hope to arrive to contemplate eternally the glory of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
