   Prayers of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina

 

Prayer for the Intercession of St. Pio of Pietrelcina

 
 
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).    Amen.
 
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. 
Amen  (Say three times)
 
 
 
 
A Prayer for Trust and Confidence in God's Mercy
 
by St. Pio of Pietrelcina
 
 
 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.
 
 
 
 
A Prayer
 
by Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
 
 
May Jesus comfort you
     in all your afflictions.
     May He sustain you in dangers,
     watch over you always with His grace,
     and indicate the safe path
     that leads to eternal salvation.
     And may He render you always
     dearer to His Divine Heart
     and always more worthy of Paradise.   
 Amen

Is there intolerance to Judeo-Christian Beliefs?

Moses and the Burning Bush

Several blogs use Loci Lenar's photography from Flickr.com to illustrate a story or news item with good intentions. He appreciates their support and they have his approval to continue to do so.

However, it's been brought to Lenar's attention that some websites with an intolerance to Judeo-Christian beliefs are posting his photographs on their sites to discredit religion in general. Furthermore, inappropriate conduct that targets a person’s religious belief is nothing less then disrespectful. Therefore, permission is denied to guilty parties for inappropriate exploitation of photographs and all the images must be removed.

However, in Luke 6:27-28, we are reminded of the following, "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."

Psalm 27:1 states, The LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?  The LORD is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?

In order for people to change their wrongful ways, Our Lord Jesus calls us to pray for them daily. May Almighty God pour out the Holy Spirit and bring forth conversion and peace to everyone that has lost their way to the road of salvation.

The above photograph of the stained glass detail of Moses and the Burning Bush is one of the images in question. The photograph is the right side of the double doors leading into the entranceway of the Church of St. Joseph. The Catholic church is located on New Street in Mendham, NJ, USA.

Our Prayers are with Haiti and Chile

Faith through Christ Jesus

Our heart goes out to the people of Haiti and Chile.  Please join in prayer for God's hand of mercy to help the people to recover from the earthquakes. Thank you very much for your prayer support.

Prayer to Mitigate Natural Disasters

The Sacred Heart

God the Father, we join together in prayer and petition heaven for divine intervention to mitigate earthquakes and natural disasters throughout the world.

We invoke the powerful name of Jesus to calm the storms of time and to bring forth a millennium of peace and tranquility.

We pray to the Virgin Mary to interecede on behalf of Humanity for God's hand of mercy to bless us with divine protection.

We ask this and thank thee in the name of Jesus. Amen

I wrote the prayer as a result of the recent earthquake in Haiti. However, Chile has experienced a serious earthquake as well. Please join in prayer for those who lost their lives and for God's mercy to help the families to recovery from the devastation. 

The Lord inspired my heart to compose a prayer to help mitigate earthquakes and disasters while I was praying for the victims and familes of Haiti.  

Please do not remain complacent, join with me daily by reciting the above prayer or any prayer that you feel comfortable with! 

Thank you very much for your thoughtful consideration.

Miraculous Photo: Shield of Archangel Michael

In August of 2005, a luminous cross appeared for the first time on Lenar's backyard fence.  The same bright cross has subsequently appeared in 2006, 2007, 2008 and again on March 28, 2009 on his property.  For more details on the story and to view photograph, please visit the following link: Miraculous Signs of Angels

Pray for World Peace

Please pray daily to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to change the course of history into an era of peace.  Also pray the Holy Rosary and request the Blessed Mother to intercede on behalf of humanity.

During her 1917 apparitions in Fatima, Portugal, Our Lady of Fatima foretold of an era of peace.  For information connecting her message to scripture, please read Revelation 20: Thousand-year Reign of God's Peace.

The Miracle Prayer

I recommend reading The Miracle Prayer, written by Father Peter M. Rookey.  The Lord has gifted Father Rookey and the International Compassion Ministry with a grace of healing.  

Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

Inspirational in its artistic design, the awe-inspiring stained glass window can be seen inside of Saint Margaret Catholic Church in Morristown, New Jersey. 

Do you believe in signs and wonders?  If so, then I would suggest reading A Tribute to King.

Prayer for Economic Recovery


Please pray a novena to the Infant Jesus of Prague in order to bring an end to the economic recession.  Also pray to Our Lady of Perpetual Help to intercede before the throne of God for assistance on all in need of a financial blessing.  Pray for God's mercy to enfold our world.

Divine Mercy Prayer

The Lord's blessing and grace flows through the recitation of The Chaplet of Divine Mercy.  Pray daily or in time of need! 

Signs of Archangel Michael

While traveling through the town of Netcong, located in Morris County, NJ, I stopped into The Church of St. Michael to say some prayers and snapped photographs of the beautiful display of stained glass windows and statues.  Remarkably, the image of Archangel Michael shows a colorful rainbow that appeared while photographing the statue. To read the inspirational story and to view the photograph, please visit Miraculous Signs of Archangel Michael.

Miracle of the Sun: Rays of God's Light

During a visit to the National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, I photographed Rays of God's Light inside the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.  Remarkably, the light is flowing through a stained glass window, which is a  depiction of the Miracle of the Sun, witnessed by 70,000 people in Fatima, Portugal on October 13, 1917.  The Catholic shrine is located on the grounds of the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA.  To view image, please visit the following link: Rays of God's Light
