Padre Pio was named Francesco in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, and was born to peasant farmers in the city of Pietrelcina, Italy in 1887. Even as a child, Padre Pio had great faith and was very devout. He experienced visions and spoke with Jesus and Mary throughout his childhood. Religion was the center of life for Padre Pio and his family. So today, lets pray for all children -- that their families, friends or community will help them grow in faith, hope and love in our Lord. In addition to this intention, you can pray for any special intention you have. Day 1 - Padre Pio Novena O St. Pio, I come to you today knowing that you are truly a miracle worker. As one who is close to Jesus, I ask that you would pray for these my intentions: (State your intentions here) I pray with the words of Blessed Pope John Paul II as I beg for your prayers on my behalf: Glorious, humble and beloved Padre Pio. Teach us, we pray, humility of heart, so that we may be counted among the little ones of the Gospel to whom the Father promised to reveal the mysteries of His Kingdom. Help us to pray without ceasing, certain that God knows what we need even before we ask Him. Obtain for us the eyes of faith that will help us recognize in the poor and suffering, the very face of Jesus. Sustain us in the hour of trouble and trial and, if we fall, let us experience the joy of the sacrament of forgiveness. Grant us your tender devotion to Mary, mother of Jesus and our Mother. Accompany us on our earthly pilgrimage toward the blessed Homeland, where we too, hope to arrive to contemplate forever the Glory of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. In closing, St. Padre Pio, we pray the prayer you composed for Confidence and Trust in Gods Mercy: O Lord, we ask for a boundless confidence and trust in Your divine mercy, and the courage to accept the crosses and sufferings which bring immense goodness to our souls and that of Your Church. Help us to love You with a pure and contrite heart, and to humble ourselves beneath Your cross, as we climb the mountain of holiness, carrying our cross that leads to heavenly glory. May we receive You with great faith and love in Holy Communion, and allow You to act in us as You desire for your greater glory. O Jesus, most adorable Heart and eternal fountain of Divine Love, may our prayer find favor before the Divine Majesty of Your heavenly Father. Amen. All glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. St. Padre Pio, Pray for us! Amen.
