Novena to Padre Pio of Pietrelcina
1ST DAY
Beloved St. Pio of Pietrelcina, you have had the signs of the Passion
of Our Lord Jesus Christ on your body. You have carried this stigmata
for everyone, enduring both the physical and mental sufferings that
racked your soul and body in a continual sacrifice. We beg you to
pray for us, so that we will be able to accept both the little and
the larger crosses we too must bear during our life on earth and to
offer these sufferings to God, assuring us a place with him in 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". Padre Pio
Efficacious Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (see below)
2nd DAY
Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, together with Our Lord Jesus Christ, you've
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. We beg you to pray for us so
that, with your help and the help of all of the Heavenly Kingdom, we
will be able to find the strength to set sin aside and to persevere
in our faith until the day of our death.
"Have courage 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". Padre Pio

3rd DAY
Virtuous St. Pio of Pietrelcina, you love Our Holy Mother very much
and have received daily graces and consolations from her. Please, we
beg you to pray to the Holy Mother for us. Place in her hands the
sorrow for our sins and our prayers of reparation, so that, as at
Cana of Galilee, her Son says 'yes' to His Mother and our name may be
written in the Book of Eternal 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". Padre Pio
Efficacious Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (see below)
4th DAY
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" . Padre Pio

5th DAY
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". Padre Pio

6th DAY
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 Mary, 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". Padre Pio
Efficacious Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (see below)
7th DAY
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". Padre Pio

8th DAY
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. 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". Padre Pio
Efficacious Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (see below)
9th DAY
Humble St. Pio of Pietrelcina, you who loved the Roman Catholic
Church, pray for us. 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". Padre Pio
