Novena to St. Padre Pio
Opening prayer:
St. Padre Pio, faithful servant of God and bearer of the wounds of Christ, you who spent yourself for sinners at the altar and in the confessional, draw near to me now. Obtain for me a deeper love of Jesus and confidence in His mercy. Amen.
Read the meditation and offer the intention of the day.
Day 1: Pray, hope, and don't worry
Padre Pio comforted anxious souls with five simple words: pray, hope, and don't worry. He had learned that worry is wasted energy and that God carries what we surrender to Him in prayer. Echoing Christ's own counsel not to be anxious about tomorrow, he urged his children to cast every care upon the Father, certain that the same God who clothes the lilies of the field will never forget His own.
O glorious Padre Pio, who calmed troubled hearts with words of peace, obtain for me a confidence that does not waver. Teach me to pray without ceasing, to hope against all hope, and to surrender every worry into the hands of our heavenly Father. Amen.
Today's intention:
For the grace to hand all my anxieties to God and rest in His care.
Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Pater noster, qui es in cælis,
sanctificétur nomen tuum.
Advéniat regnum tuum.
Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie,
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris.
Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem,
sed líbera nos a malo.
Amen.

Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum.
Benedícta tu in muliéribus,
et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta María, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatóribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.
Amen.

Glory Be
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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper,
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Closing prayer:
St. Padre Pio, who taught us to pray, to hope, and not to worry, intercede for me before the throne of God. Win for me the grace I seek and, above all, the will to belong wholly to Christ. Amen.
